Thanks for the link to the RFC :) Excuse me, but I'll be little hard in this post. This for insult the community but I want the community really think about the decision it made and the reason why. I also read why it have been refused here : http://www.php.net/~derick/meeting-notes.html#ifsetor-as-replacement-for- foo-isset-foo-foo-something-else Is it serious ? « The name for this new operator is heavily disputed and we could not agree on a decent name for it. » Tomorrow I will not send food to the association for children who are hungry because I can not choose between offering Thai or basmati rice. Stop sarcasm, seriously, this is not an honorable response from people making decisions. Take your responsibility and make a vote or impose a name, just do it. « Instead of implementing ifsetor() we remove the requirement for the "middle" parameter to the ?: operator. » That's not people wants and that's not do their need. So that not a correct answer of the php developper demand. « In combination with the new input_filter extension you then reach the original goal of setting a default value to a non-set input variable with: $blahblah = input_filter_get(GET, 'foo', FL_INT) ?: 42; » I don't see how do that with the actual filter extension. Even if it is possible, this is not a pretty short and easier solution than : $var = (isset($var)) ? $var : 'default'; Why not add a simple new operator who do the job, this is not needing a name : // set a default value if $var is not set $var ?= 'default'; // equalivalent to : $var = (isset($var)) ? $var : 'default'; -- Alban Leroux s...@paradoxal.org -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
