#48267 [Opn->Bgs]: new "in" keyword as an alias of array_search

ID: 48267 Updated by: johannes@php.net Reported By: zyss at mail dot zp dot ua -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Irrelevant PHP Version: 5.2.9 New Comment: We try to avoid adding keywords as that creates trouble with updates. This particular feature has little benefit over the current, more verbose way. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-05-13 20:04:55] zyss at mail dot zp dot ua Description: ------------ Please add new keyword "in" to improve readability of a PHP code that is an inline alias to array_search function. For example: if (array_search($item, $array)) { ... } would be: if ($item in $array) { ... } Another example: if (array_search($item, array('first', 'second', 'third'))) { ... } would be: if ($item in array('first', 'second', 'third')) { ... } or ideally: if ($item in {'first', 'second', 'third'}) { ... } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48267&edit=1
