I’ve put the Null Coalesce Operator RFC to a vote: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/isset_ternary#vote It is a 2/3 majority vote and ends in a week’s time on 2014-09-27.

Hi, We've discussed this RFC with other members of AFUP (French UG), and we've written quite a few mails about the ?? operator itself and a few other ideas. To summarize, we pretty much all agree that having to use isset() in order to avoid a notice is often cumbersome, and that a proposal that would allow us to write shorter code is nice. Using a new operator also feels better than changing the behavior of ?: and the ?? operator should not be hard to remember and understand. A new ??= operator might be useful, but not having it right away is OK: it'll still be possible to add it in the future, if enough people using ?? feel that ??= could help too. So, basically, +1 ;-) -- Pascal MARTIN http://blog.pascal-martin.fr/ @pascal_martin
