note 109869 added to language.operators.logical

I've noticed some people here (or maybe person) mentioned about how you can't use these operators to assign a "default" in a similar to you would in the likes of javascript. Eg var x = 0 || 1; x would equal 1. It IS possible to do this very simply: <?php $a = false; $a or ($a = 'default value'); echo $a; // 'default value' ?> This is allows you to perform the same javascript-like evaluation. Of course, in PHP, this wouldn't be needed in a function since you can declare default values for arguments anyway. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 82.38.181.70 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.logical.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/109869 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109869/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109869/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109869/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109869/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109869/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109869/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109869 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/109869 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
