Won't change.... You can use "or"/"and" also. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-14 03:30:21] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providing default values for fields, I find myself using the following syntax a lot: $a = $result->f('asd'); if (!$a) $a = 'nothing'; $a = ($result->f('asd') ? $result->f('asd') : 'nothing'); Generally: $a = ($x ? $x : $y); It would be handy to have a shorthand for this that would easy typing, legibility, and avoid duplicate evaluation of $x. Proposed syntax (not fussy) $x ?: $y i.e. if 'value if true' is empty, use 'condition value'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=12735&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
