No, every other binary operator is not available. If I interpret this right one could say that all short-circuiting operators are not available. E.g. you also can't write $foo &&= $bar; or $foo ||= $bar. The ?: operator also falls in this category of short-circuiting logical operators. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
