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
