I just joined this list and caught this thread (no suggestions like
this in the archive)...
For v6.0... how about allowing comparison operator expressions like
the following:
if (2 < $x <= 4) {}
I prefer this concise way as it is common for mathematics
expressions, and much easier to grasp physically on first glance.
From what I can tell, this expression can currently only be written as:
if ( $x > 2 && $x <= 4) {}
Would adding this syntax to PHP be incredibly difficult or lead to
performance slowdowns?
I think I remember reading that PHP always evaluates expressions from
right to left, so I guess there may be a considerable codebase change
required. Maybe there could be a default function workaround for this
or some other way to automagically process these more concise
expressions without too much of a slowdown?? Just curious.
