I'm reading "Essential PHP Security" by Chris Shiflett.
on the very beginning, page 5 & 6, if I got it correct, he said this is not good:
$search = isset($_GET['search']) ? $_GET['search'] : '';
and this is good:
$search = '';
if (isset($_GET['search']))
{
$search = $_GET['search'];
}
what's the difference? I really can't see?
The difference between the examples are still nothing, it do the same.
But I never use the short version of if, because when I look after some month in some projects I have a better overview when there is a long if , its much easier to extend.
sorry for my bad english
