I've been using a lot the VARIANT_XOR function (all the VARIANT functions ar cool) and I was faceing the problem that some custom copilation of PHP, especially LAMP packs, doesn't have the VARANT functions included, so the scripts halts.
I had to find an alternative for those who doesn't have an implamentation of VARIANT_XOR.
I'd love if somebody improve my "A_XOR_B" function by changing the name in "VARIANT_XOR" and to run the original VARIANT_XOR function (being optimized) if it is already in the PHP compilation, else run the custom XOR code.
<?php
function a_xor_b($a=0, $b=0) {
return ( ($a!=$b) && ($a||$b) ) ? TRUE : FALSE ;
}
?>
If using this function, make sure you use the same type for arguments ;-)
Here is a sample code using it:
<?php
if ( a_xor_b(strlen($column1)>0,strlen($column2)>0) ) {
$add_and='';
}
if ( !a_xor_b(strlen($column1)>0,strlen($column2)>0 ) && strlen($column1)>0 ) {
$add_and=' and ';
}
$some_sql_filter=$query_str.' having '.$column1.$add_and.$column2;
?>
The use of VARIANT_XOR was identical.
@PHP TEAM: the VARIANT set is so great :-)
variant_xor
(PHP 5)
variant_xor — Performs a logical exclusion on two variants
Parâmetros
-
left -
The left operand.
-
right -
The right operand.
Nota:
Assim como todas as funções aritméticas variant, os parâmetros para esta função podem ser qualquer um tipo nativo do PHP (integer, string, ponto flutuante, booleano ou
NULL), ou uma instancia de uma classe COM, VARIANT ou DOTNET. Tipos nativos do PHP será convertido para variants usando a mesma regra como encontrado no construtor para a classe VARIANT. Objetos COM e DOTNET terão o valor de suas propriedades padrão obtidos e usados como valor variant.As funções aritméticas variant são wrappers para as chamadas similarmente funções na biblioteca COM; para mais informação sobre estas funções, consulte a biblioteca MSDN. As funções PHP são nomeadas ligeiramente diferentes; por exemplo variant_add() no PHP corresponde a VarAdd() na documentação MSDN.
Valor Retornado
If left is |
If right is |
then the result is |
|---|---|---|
TRUE | TRUE | FALSE |
TRUE | FALSE | TRUE |
FALSE | TRUE | TRUE |
FALSE | FALSE | FALSE |
NULL | NULL | NULL |
