note 78358 added to language.operators

This is very common problem: set one variable to another, if it is not empty. If it is, set it to something else. For example: set $bar to $foo, if $foo is empty, set $bar to "undefined"; if(!empty($foo)) $bar= $foo; else $bar= "undefined"; OR operator can shorten it: $bar= @$foo or $bar= "undefined"; ---- Server IP: 147.32.160.17 Probable Submitter: 81.2.196.33 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/78358 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78358/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78358/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78358/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78358/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78358/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78358/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78358 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/78358 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
