Stuart: Interesting and nice idea (your snippets). I'm sure it's easier for you to read, but my first thought about V() is huh? In truth, it would take me a while to get used to it and if I came across it in someone else's code I would find it more confusing than a ternary operator. Questions: 1. Why "V"? Does that stand for Variable? 2. Why the "()" in: $var = (isset($_GET['var']) ? $_GET['var']) : ''); Why not? $var = isset($_GET['var']) ? $_GET['var']) : ''; 3. Are the "Ramblings of a random software engineer" the "Ramblings of a random-software engineer" or the "Ramblings of a random software-engineer" ? Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com/
