Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=46240&edit=1 ID: 46240 Comment by: valid at email dot ru Reported by: kjarli at gmail dot com Summary: Build in foreach else support Status: Duplicate Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.2.6 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: It's funny how such an useful feature gets rejected while they implement junk like foreach-list compatibility and unfinished dereferencing. I usually really like PHP, but this is really low.
