It’s time for part 2 of my PHP wish list! In this instalment I’ll detail another feature that I would love to see in PHP: reverse combined operators.
If you missed part 1 (you probably did), you can read it here.
“What the hell is a reverse combined operator?” I hear you scream. Well, technically they probably don’t exist yet, so I’m sure a better name could be found, but bear with me and I’ll try to explain…
PHP is a great programming language. Honestly, I’ve worked with it almost every day for 5 or so years and I still love it. I haven’t even considered trying Python, promise! *looks guiltily at Andi and Zeev*
Sometimes though, I do wish for something more. Never enough to switch teams (sorry Python), but there are a few points I keep coming back to. This, in fact, is at the present moment the sole reason for this blog’s existence – I simply don’t have anywhere else to voice my frustration.
So, without further ado I give you part 1 of my PHP wish list: the foreachif() construct!
