Re: [PHP4BETA] A strict equality operator

&= is taken. All ?= is not valid (? being any character) since they're taken for assignment operators. Zeev At 01:13 26/07/99 , Jon Griffin wrote:

I agree, I hate text operators (i.e. eq) and this is not THAT HARD to remember. My vote &=, just ingrain it in your head and in three minutes you remember!

I'm not hooked on the symbol, I just don't like === there are already a lot of people who think == and = were a mistake for c, and that they should have done = and := instead, so why make it worse (ok so == works well with && vs & and || vs |, but it still causes a lot of mistakes for programmers). How about x= it stands for exactly equal.
