Please explain this php expression "!$variable"
- by DogBot
What does an exclamaton mark in front of a variable mean? And how is it being used in this piece of code?
EDIT: From the answers so far I suspect that I also should mention that this code is in a function where one of the parameters is $mytype ....would this be a way of checking if $mytype was passed? - Thanks to all of the responders so far.
$myclass = null;
if ($mytype == null && ($PAGE->pagetype <> 'site-index' && $PAGE->pagetype <>'admin-index')) {
return $myclass;
}
elseif ($mytype == null && ($PAGE->pagetype == 'site-index' || $PAGE->pagetype =='admin-index')) {
$myclass = ' active_tree_node';
return $myclass;
}
elseif (!$mytype == null && ($PAGE->pagetype == 'site-index' || $PAGE->pagetype =='admin-index')) {
return $myclass;
}`
