> $a = $b ^^ $c You sure? It didn't work for me, and it isn't listed in the PHP manual. I used: <?php var_dump(1 ^^ 0); var_dump(0 ^^ 1); var_dump(0 ^^ 0); var_dump(1 ^^ 1); ?> to test it and got a syntax error. I suppose you could use the bitwise one as a bit of a hack, so long as you 'boolean-ised' both arguments first. eg $a = (!!$b) ^ (!!$c); // or even $a = !$b ^ !$c; since xor depends exclusively on both sides being different to each other. > > Generally however there is no need to parentisize everything to the > > right of the assignment operator(=), since besides 'and', 'or', 'xor', > > and the comma operator.
