Req #73400 [NEW]: requesting syntactic sugar for T_COALESCE (??)
From: raffaellobertini at gmail dot com
Operating system: CentOS
PHP version: 7.1.0RC4
Package: Compile Failure
Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description:requesting syntactic sugar for T_COALESCE (??)
Description:
------------
it often happen doing something similar to this assignment pattern:
$something = $something ?? ....whatever... ;
as a syntactic sugar it will be nice to have:
$something ??= ....whatever;
that will be interpreted as the original first line. Just simply
syntactic sugar.
like the case of the operator:
$a = $a + 1;
$a++;
Expected result:
----------------
if $something is set $something will be no operation or assigned itself,
otherwise the RH operand will be assigned to $something.
Actual result:
--------------
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ?? (T_COALESCE) in php shell
