I'm moving my project from PHP 7 to PHP 8. Due to left-associative ternary operator deprecate in PHP 8 I need to do some refactoring.

So, is there an easy way to find all ternary operator in PhpStorm project? Or any other IDE?

CodePudding user response：

Yes, you can use the Find in Path feature in PhpStorm (or a similar feature in other IDEs) to search for all instances of the ternary operator in your project. To do this, follow these steps:

1. In PhpStorm, open the Find in Path tool by going to Edit > Find > Find in Path.
2. In the Search for field, enter the following regular expression: ?([^:] ):
3. In the File mask field, enter the file pattern for the PHP files in your project (for example, *.php)
4. Click the Find button to search for all instances of the ternary operator in your project.

The search results will include all occurrences of the ternary operator in your project, along with the line numbers where they appear. You can then review the search results and update the affected code to use the new syntax for the ternary operator in PHP 8.

Note that the steps and details may vary slightly depending on the version of PhpStorm and the specifics of your project, but the general approach should be the same.
