#49718 [NEW]: Logical Combination Assignment Operators

From: robeddielee at hotmail dot com Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: 5.3.0 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Logical Combination Assignment Operators Description: ------------ PHP current supports combination assignment operators for arithmetic, bitwise, and string operations. These operators include: +=, *=, %=, &=, etc... PHP should also support combination assignment operators for logical operations such as && and ||. The requested operators are: &&=, and ||=. I would also request XOR, but there doesn't appear to be a ^^ operator to begin with that isn't spelled out. NOTE: This is NOT the same request as Bug #12930. Reproduce code: --------------- $valid = true; $valid &&= isCondition1(); $valid &&= isCondition2(); $valid &&= isCondition3(); var_export($valid); Expected result: ---------------- $valid should be set to boolean true, only if the three conditions evaluate to true. If any condition evaluates to false, $valid should be set to false. Actual result: -------------- PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '='... -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49718&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49718&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49718&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49718&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49718&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49718&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49718&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49718&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49718&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49718&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49718&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49718&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49718&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49718&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49718&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49718&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49718&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49718&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49718&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49718&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49718&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49718&r=mysqlcfg
