ID: 52148 Updated by: ras...@php.net Reported by: clouster at yandex dot ru Summary: Modify ternary operator request -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Type: Feature/Change Request Package: *Programming Data Structures Operating System: all PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: The operator exists. Try your code like this in PHP 5.3: echo $foo ?: "bar"; echo $bar ?: "bar"; Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-06-22 16:37:21] clouster at yandex dot ru sorry for "stream of consciousness" and my bad english :) Actually when i said "modify ternary operator" i mean to add new ternary operator. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-06-22 16:35:23] clouster at yandex dot ru Description: ------------ There is a need for another operator, which would reduce the code dramatically. Be sure there are situations when stupid testing for validity get load of code, so i suggest modify ternary operator ( expression ? true : false ) to next variant: $foo = "hello"; $bar = "world"; $output = $foo ? $bar; $output is "hello"; $foo = null (0, false, etc); $bar = "world"; $output is "world"; Test script: --------------- $foo = false; $bar = "foo"; echo $foo ? "bar"; echo $bar ? "bar"; Expected result: ---------------- bar foo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52148&edit=1
