I once saw the use of OR (|) in assignment. $x = $y | $z; Does this use bitwise OR? I'm trying to see if I could use the above expression in place of: $x = is_null($y) ? $z : $y;
yes, '|' is bitwise OR, but that is /not/ a ternary operator. it's not safe to just replace the ternary operation with the bitwise operation. for example, if $y=5 and $z=9, then: $x=$y|$z; -> $x=13 $x=is_null($y)?$z:$y; -> $x=5 Kae -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
