Re: [RFC] anti-coalescing-operator

Hi Bruce If I understand correctly. $_SERVER['fname'] !?? $user->setName($_SERVER['fname']); Will return the result of $user->setName($_SERVER['fname']) if $_SERVER['fname'] is set or null if not set. While: isset($_SERVER['fname']) && $user->setName($_SERVER['fname']); Will return boolean.
