Proposed RFC

Hi all, First off, this is my first time e-mailing internals or even thinking about submitting RFC. Please forgive me if I fail to follow some kind of convention. In PHP 7.0, we were given the Null Coalesce operator. For example: echo $array['key']??"key is not set" would be the same as: echo (isset($array['key'])?$array['key']:"key is not set" This is a great feature, that makes code much cleaner. This works on the principle that "$array['key']" is "NULL". I would like to propose a new feature that is as clean as this but is a slightly different use case. This would require a new operator (up for discussion, but an early idea is "?!") For example: echo (!is_infinite($n1/$n2)?!0); Would output ($n1/$n2) if it is "true" and 0 if false. Right now, the closest we have to this is ?: operator. The problem with this is that it could get very messy as you still have to do: echo (!is_infinite($n1/$n2)?$n1/$n2:0); I have obviously over simplified the example. You wouldn't have a big problem in this case, but if the subject of the function is much longer, it can become complicated very quickly. Alternatively, a perhaps more general feature would be to just have the same functionality as the Null Coalesce, but with true/false rather than Null/Not Null. Please let me know if there is something in these ideas or anyway to improve them. I should also note that I would need a volunteer to implement this as my "C" skills are non-existent and I wouldn't have the confidence to delve into the the PHP source. Thanks for your time. Best, Antony D'Andrea
