Re: Ternary operators

sorry - I have had a php5 CLI at hand for so long I forgot that 'php -r' is not available in v4. that said the 'php -a' option also works (although I always find the interactive mode odd to work with) Kevin Kinsey wrote:

This means my install can't run inline stuff like this? Guess it wasn't set up to do that. So no I won't say that I will use php -r to test anything.. lol :)

Actually run "php -v" and let's see if it's not version 4 ... in which there is no "r" option available IIRC ....

please say your going start using "php -r" to test stuff like this. :-)

Not unless he upgrades, apparently. Still, not too hard to open an editor, code a tiny script, and run it from the CLI in either PHP4 or PHP5. Let's all learn to test things, eh? Kevin Kinsey
