Re: [RFC] Pipe Operator

God I hate crap software ... TRYING to reply without top post ... but Samsung is incapable! What I was trying to comment on was that trapping that no result is returned may be what is needed, so handling the empty array rather than a null return just means having to remember what you do use :( Sent from my android device so quoting is crap ... need to kill these painful email clients! -----Original Message----- From: lester@lsces.co.uk To: internals@lists.php.net, Larry Garfield <larry@garfieldtech.com> Sent: Sat, 30 Apr 2016 19:35 Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] [RFC] Pipe Operator However, passing an array to array_filter() then passing the result to array_map() is always type safe (because array_filter still returns an array even if it filters down to 0 items), and array_map on an empty array is essentially a no-op, so I'm comfortable doing so, and wish I could do so more often with less fugly syntax. :-)
