Bit operations in PHP with examples

Inspired by the article about handling critical errors in PHP . I noticed that despite the fact that the error codes in PHP are specially sharpened for bit operations, however, in the examples of the article that are in the comments, regular comparison operators are used to check the error codes.

For example, there were such options:

if ($error['type'] == E_ERROR || $error['type'] == E_PARSE || $error['type'] == E_COMPILE_ERROR){…}

if(in_array($error['type'], array(E_ERROR, E_PARSE,  E_COMPILE_ERROR)) {…}

.

$a & $b — ( , $a $b)
$a | $b — ( , $a $b)
$a ^ $b — ( $a $b, )
~$a — (, 1 0, )
$a << $b — ( $a $b)
$a >> $b — ( $a $b)

$user_perm =  U_READ; //

$user_perm =  U_READ | U_DELETE; //

$user_perm =  U_ALL; //
