I really do not know what you want to tell me with that first sentence. The solution for the problem is already baked into PHP and usable: intermediate variables with meaningful names. Yes, this might sometimes be overly verbose. Yes, this might tempt some people to create meaningless variable names. All in all no argument that was brought up so far showed that this kind of operator is really useful to solve something that cannot be already solved. It is always just about source code formatting and laziness to write out some variables. Sorry -- Richard "Fleshgrinder" Fussenegger
