note 120961 added to language.operators.logical

In addition to what Lawrence said about assigning a default value, one can now use the Null Coalescing Operator (PHP 7). Hence when we want to assign a default value we can write: $a = ($fruit ?? 'apple'); //assigns the $fruit variable content to $a if the $fruit variable exists or has a value that is not NULL, or assigns the value 'apple' to $a if the $fruit variable doesn't exists or it contains the NULL value ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 5.12.255.5 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.logical.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/120961 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120961/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120961/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120961/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120961/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120961/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120961/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120961 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/120961 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
