Hi Jade, if you liked that idea, I´ll tell you which enhancement I´d found very helpful (I collected them working on thousands lines of code, they´re practically orientated and will be very useful): (1) PROPSED SYNTAX !!$val MEANING extended negation w check LONG EXPRESSION $val!==FALSE (2) PROPSED SYNTAX $val1 ?? $val2 MEANING Reduce-enhanced ternary op LONG EXPRESSION 1. if (!($pos=$val)) $pos=$val2; 2. return $pos; (3) PROPSED SYNTAX $val1 ??? $val2 MEANING Reduce-enhanced ternary op, 0 safe LONG EXPRESSION 1. if (($pos=$val)!==FALSE) $pos=$val2; 2. return $pos; (4) PROPSED SYNTAX $val1 ?&? $val2 (found no better syntax) MEANING Reduce-enhanced ternary op, 0 safe LONG EXPRESSION 1. $pos= isset($val) ? $val : $val2; 2. return $pos; Overall these improvements would mean: - smaller code - faster executing - no additional ambiguities That means: Faster and better development for the experienced and if documented thoroughly even for newbies and intermediates... That´s optimizations who wouldn´t love them? I don´t see any negative aspects and I do not think these additional operators (which would simplify PHPs usage and increase performance) will be too complicated to understand. -- o----------0-¬---------O-·---¬----o---®-----o o O ° . | http://www.kiffen.de | pRoteçt y0ur bRaín |0 O ° ¤ ° · 0°·³°²'²³-¹'³´³°^°³~³²³°'³²²¨³²^³¹³²°²³`³º³°Þ ° o © ° . · | psychedelic experience | gott@kiffen.de | O ° o ° o-¬--o--0-----©-·--O-----o-----0-¤----------o 0 ° · ° . ¤ ·
