[PHP] What does this mean?
Hey all, I'm new to the list and I have a question... What does = mean? The book I am reading is called Programming PHP published by O'Reilly. I haven't read the whole book yet. I was flipping through the pages and in the book there is mention of = (less than or equal) and = (greater than or equal)but it doesn't say what = is even though it is used numerous times in the example code.

It's used in key value combinations in several places.
When building an array:
$foo = array('key' = 'value', 'another_key' = 'another value');
which will give you an array that looks like
$foo['key'] = 'value';
$foo['another_key'] = 'another_value';
Also, in foreach(), which is a language construct used to iterate over arrays:
foreach($foo as $key = $val) {
echo The key for this element is $key and the value is $val\n;
}
will output:
The key for this element is key and the value is value
The key for this element is another_key and the value is another_value
Those are the two most common places you'll see it (and perhaps the
only, I don't want to speak conclusively, though, I'm awfully tired
this evening!)

[PHP] What does this mean: ?=
Hi there, I am somehow confused about the this command: ?= What does the equetion sigh mean? I would like to replace the ?= sign inside this line: ?= $ajax-loadJsApp(true) ? so I could do something like this: ?php $ajax-loadJsApp(true); echo 'test'; ? But this does not work. Some how this equetion sign has something to do with it. Thank you for any hint, Merlin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] What does this mean: ?=
?= $arse; ? ...is a concise, if less readable way, to echo the value of arse. It is only used to echo a value. To do anything else, for example, call a method, use the second approach you describe. In fact, you already seem to know the difference, so why the question? Are you trying to replace this notation in exisiting code?

its a form of if statement called the tertiary form (or something),
it does exactly the same as this:

$a = $a;
} else {
$a = dian;
}
don't know which page its on tho ;-)

The ? in this senario is called the ternary operator
basically shorthand for an if/else statement e.g
$theValue = ($theValue != ) ? ' . $theValue . ' :NULL;
is the equivalent of
if($theValue != ) {
$theValue =$theValue ;
}

$theValue =NULL;

The use of the means that its passed by reference.
That its equal to the memory address of where the variable is stored
$variable
its often used to modify the value of a that variable within a function.
for example:
?php
$variable = 3;
echo $variable;
#will print 3
function checkit($x){
$x = 5;
#this will modify the value of $variable.
}
checkit($variable);

What does the (ampersand) before the variable name mean ? It's called a reference, check out: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.references.php regards, Philip Olson -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [PHP] what does this mean?
As far as I know, you've defined $errorMsg previously as an variable, not as an array. If you'll not use anymore the previously defined $errorMsg just unset the variable using unset($errorMsg) before the attribution. I hope this solves your problem, it solved a lot of similar errors to me!

[PHP] What Does This Mean?
Hi; I'm getting this error: Unsatisfied dependencies for mod-php3-mysql-3.0.8-2: mod-php3 = 3.0.8 What does it mean and what should I do about it (if anything)?

Re: [PHP] What Does This Mean?
I am not very sure of what exactly does this this mean but I guess that the particular module that you are installing requires a cversion of PHP that has to be greater than 3.0.8. This is just a guess. I aplogize if it's wrong. regards Ankur Verma HCL Technologies A1CD, Sec -16 Noida, UP India - Original Message - From: "Ben Ocean" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2001 3:28 PM Subject: [PHP] What Does This Mean?
