Well normally we just commit don't we? Also believe me or not i worked out my patch very hard and tried other things to. But feel free to ignore my efforts. >> At 01:54 AM 7/10/2004 +0200, Marcus Boerger wrote: >>> coalesce would be: >>> "coalesce" "(" <var> ( "," <var> )* [ >>> "," <expr> ] ")" > Actually I'd prefer > "coalesce" "(" <expr> ( "," <expr> )* > ")" > with either the whole expression evaluation silenced or only in the case > where <expr> is a <var>. > I'll have a go at it as soon as I find time. Anyway i appreciate if you try to find a solution! As a hint <var> and <expr> are two very different things. That's why i chose the syntax to be "ifsetor(<var>,<expr>)". And i am quite sure we cannot change <var> to <expr> -- Best regards, Marcus mailto:helly@php.net
