note 110259 added to language.types.string

Regarding the lack of complex expression interpolation, just assign an identity function to a variable and call it: function id($arg) { return $arg; } $expr = id; echo "Field is: {$expr( "1 ". ucfirst('whatzit')) }"; It is slower due to an additional function call, but it does avoid the assignment of a one-shot temporary variable. When there are a lot of very simple value transformations made just for display purposes, it can de-clutter code. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.199 Probable Submitter: 152.14.95.61 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/110259 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110259/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110259/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110259/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110259/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110259/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110259/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110259 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/110259 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
