Req #73967 [Opn->Wfx]: PHP "not" logical operator

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73967&edit=1 ID: 73967 Updated by: nikic@php.net Reported by: lauris at lauris dot lv Summary: PHP "not" logical operator -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Type: Feature/Change Request Package: *General Issues Operating System: any PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: and / or exist because they have lower precedence than && / ||, which was useful for certain patterns like "$x = expr or die". The same does not apply to the unary not. Using and/or in conditional expressions is highly unidiomatic in PHP.

(not operator). I suggest to add equivalent to "!" (not equals) as "not". Test script: --------------- <?php if (!$valid) { // Error condition } Expected result: ---------------- <?php if (not $valid) { // Error condition } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73967&edit=1
