I've read the php manual about bitwise operators but couldn't
understand the code below:
$EnablePost&= preg_grep('/^post/', array_keys(@$_POST));
Interesting question. I had to research, but here's how I'd interpret it.
From [1]: &= is bitwise 'and': A &= B is the same as (A = A & B)
1] &= will perform a bitwise AND operation on the result of the the
preg_grep, and the value of $EnablePost.
2] The preg_grep will return an array of the result of a search of the
keys of the array $_POST for anything starting with the text 'post'
So, the bitwise operator will scan each element of the array returned by
$_POST, and do an 'and' with $EnablePost. So:
Initial value of$EnablePost: 0/unset 1 1
'post' found in array: 1 1 0
Result: 0 1 0
So, if $EnablePost is already set, and 'post' is in the $_POST array,
then keep it set, otherwise disable posting.
