Bug description:associative array syntax
Description:
------------
When using undefined $args['method'] this should not throw an error,
instead, it
should return undef or null.
In Perl or Ruby, Python, we usually write:
$value = $hash{key} || 'default value';
But in PHP, we have to write such code, that's such inefficient:
$value = isset($hash['key']) ? $hash['key'] : 'default';
Yes, we can use '@', but the '@' makes PHP runs more slower.
It will be better if we can have the following syntax:
$value = $hash['key'] || 'default value';
so that if you have multiple hashes:
$value = $hash['key'] || $hash2['key'] || $hash3['key'] || 'last
value';
then we don't have to write:
$value = isset($hash['key']) ? $hash['key'] : isset($hash2['key']) ?
$hash2['key'] : $hash2['key'] ........ # whatever
Thanks
