Terniary operators using 5.3+ i believe shorten it by one more parameter… into something like the following:


$input = "xyz";

// using the above examples... php<5.3

$return_ex = ($input)?$input:false;
/** this returns $input obviously...  **/

// using the above examples... php

code is indeedy fun

Nice explaination. My problem with this syntax is that there aren’t many people out there who know what this means. I always worry about readability. Though I do love single-line solutions…
