Operators

Arithmetic operators

• $a + $b - addition
• $a - $b - subtraction
• $a * $b - multiplication
• $a / $b - division
• $a % $b - modulus

{$a + $b * $c/$d - $e*5 + 1e3}

Logical operators

• $a || $b - or
• $a && $b - and
• !$a - not, unary operator
• $a and $b - and
• $a or $b - or
• $a xor $b - xor

{if $b && $c} ... {/if}

Comparison operators

• $a < $b - less than
• $a > $b - greater than
• $a <= $b - less than or equal to
• $a >= $b - greater than or equal to
• $a == $b - equal
• $a === $b - identical
• $a !== $b - not identical
• $a != $b - not equal
• $a <> $b - not equal

{if $b >= 5} ... {/if}

Bitwise operators

• $a | $b - or
• $a & $b - and
• $a ^ $b - xor
• ~$a - not, unary operator
• $a << $b - shift left
• $a >> $b - shift right

{if $a & 1} {var $b = 4 | $flags} {/if}

Assignment Operators

• $a = $b - assignment
• $a += $b - assignment with addition
• $a -= $b - assignment with subtraction
• $a *= $b - assignment with multiplication
• $a /= $b - assignment with division
• $a %= $b - assignment with modulus
• $a &= $b - assignment with bitwise And
• $a |= $b - assignment with bitwise or
• $a ^= $b - assignment with bitwise xor
• $a <<= $b - assignment with left shift
• $a >>= $b - assignment with right shift

{var $b |= $flags}

Incrementing/Decrementing operators

• ++$a - increment the variable and use it
• $a++ - use the variable and increment it
• --$a - decrement the variable and use it
• $a-- - use the variable and decrement it

String operator

• $a ~ $b - return concatenation of variables $a and $b

Ternary operators

• $a ? $b : $c - returns $b if $a is not empty, and $c otherwise
• $a ! $b : $c - returns $b if $a is set, and $c otherwise
• $a ?: $c - returns $a if $a is not empty, and $c otherwise
• $a !: $c - returns $a if $a is set, and $c otherwise

{var $a = true}
{$a ? 5 : 10} {* outputs 5 *}
{var $a = false}
{$a ? 5 : 10} {* outputs 10 *}

Check operators

• $a? - returns TRUE if $a is not empty
• $a! - returns TRUE if $a is set

{if $a?} {* instead of {if !empty($a)} *}
{if $a!} {* instead of {if isset($a)} *}
{$a?:"some text"} {* instead of {if empty($a) ? "some text" : $a} *}
{$a!:"some text"} {* instead of {if isset($a) ? $a : "some text"} *}

Test operator

Tests can be negated by using the is not operator.

• $a is $b - $a identical $b
• $a is integer - test variable type. Type may be int/integer, bool/boolean, float/double/decimal, array, object, scalar, string, callback/callable, number/numeric.
• $a is iterable - test variable for iteration.
• $a is template - variable $a contain existing template name.
• $a is empty - checks if a variable is empty.
• $a is set - checks if a variable is set.
• $a is even - variable $a is even.
• $a is odd - variable $a is odd.
• $a is MyClass or $a is \MyClass - variable $a instance of MyClass class

Containment operator

Tests can be negated by using the not in operator.

• $a in $b - variable $a contains in $b, $b may be string, plain or assoc array.
• $a in list $b - variable $a contains in array $b as value
• $a in keys $b - array $b contain key $a
• $a in string $b - variable $a contains in string $b as substring

{'df' in 'abcdefg'}
{5 in [1, 5, 25, 125]}
{99 in keys [1, 5, 25, 99 => 125]}
