Is there a short-circuit OR in PHP that returns the left-most value?

Question

In some languages, you can do

$a = $b OR $c OR die(\"no value\");

That is, the OR will short-circuit, only evaluating values from left to right

Answer 1

You can use just:

$a = func1() or $a = func2() or $a = func3();

or am I missing something?
