what this === ?

[runrunforest]

can some one tell me?

[AnthonySterling]

It is one of the Comparison Operator, this one was introduced in PHP 4.

From manual:-

$a === $b | TRUE if $a is equal to $b, and they are of the same type. (introduced in PHP 4)

[buldozerce]

$t=true;
$k=1;
if($t==$k) //same value everything except zero and false is true
echo 'true'; //outputs true
if($t===$k) //same type and value
echo 'true'; //outputs nothing

two semi colons means ?

This is called scope resolution operator used to access the static class members directly with it.

class Abc{
   public static function myFunction(){
      // do something
   }
}
Abc::myFunction();

cmon, just give an idea what it means or does, I am tired of reading too much already.

[logic_earth]

Static method is a Class method.

First of all, I am not a good teacher to teach you. And I don't have much time to write all the lines myself so what i can do is just copy the lines from manual and paste it here.

So better try to read there in the manual itself. Dont be lazy to read more n more and do practice.

In c++ it is scope resolution operator

[Raju Gautam]

In c++ it is scope resolution operator

It is called same 'Scrop Resolution Operator' here in PHP as well. Do you mean it is said something else in PHP?

Can you tell me ?

[Highway Seven]

what this ==?

what this ::?

what this __?

Dude...

[AnthonySterling]

runrunforest, you really need to start reading the manual. It would be a lot quicker than posing the question here, then awaiting a possible reply to your post.

The really helpful guys/gals here love to help, but they're not here to copy and paste the manual for you.

Go on, delve into the manual, you may be surprised at the wealth of additional information there!

[spikeZ]

How very polite SilverB!

[NateL]

I've tried. have you tried googling "::" or "==" or "__" ??

apparently not.

Google strips away :: or == or __, so you won't find any results from google.

Furthermore, inside the PHP manual, when you run a search for those specific things - they do not appear. I've tried. I've tried with and without quotes and every search returns no results.

So, without having the PHP manual memorized, I really don't know where to find what those are called, so I cant search the name of what they're called to read up on how they work and what they do.

So, instead of "google it", it would be helpful if someone who already knows where to find it in the manual would post a link to the appropriate section of the manual so we can read up on it.

It would help me. I'm sure it would help others too.

Dude...

Jesus. Dude you collected all my questions, you must want sell them for 10 buck when i died, don't you ?

Picaseu.

I am not flattering anyone but answers from here are more understandable and to the point. Besides Google just giving me links to topic like this, no real reply, I don't know why .

That makes two of us, according to post.

Just FYI...my post was merged in with multiple other threads started by the OP which I did not read. To all those explaining and posting links to the manual, I appreciate your efforts.

If any of the symbols or special characters is used in any programming language, that must be called 'operators' of that language. So if you type 'php operators' in google, it will show you the link/url of php manual's operators page.

Thank you. Google gave me this.

[runrunforest]

Thank you. Google gave me this.

I've been there and i couldn't see this __

[crmalibu]

__ is not an operator. All it is, is underscores. Maybe you saw them used as part of a symbol name(variable, function/method, constant). For example, the name of the class constructor method is named __construct() by convention.

here's some info on some of the symbol names php has used this naming convention for.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/languag...predefined.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.magic.php

php warns it may apply "magical" functionality to symbols with this naming convention, so don't choose your own names like this. When they say magical, it means they do some stuff behind the scenes that you wouldn't expect given your otherwise correct knowledge of how php works. Like magic constants; they aren't really constants, and thier value changes throughout the script.

[runrunforest]

Thanks heap.
