note 96594 added to language.variables.basics

When wanting to switch two variables from content, you can use the XOR operator: <?PHP $a=5; $b=3; //Please mind the order of these, as it's important for the outcome. $a^=$b; $b^=$a; $a^=$b; echo $a.PHP_EOL.$b; /* prints: 3 5 */ ?> This will also work on strings, but it won't work on arrays and objects, so for them you'll have to use the serialize() function before the operation, and the unserialize() function after. ---- Server IP: 91.199.167.223 Probable Submitter: 83.83.52.10 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.basics.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/96594 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96594/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96594/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96594/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96594/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96594/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96594/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96594 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/96594 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
