note 60433 added to function.echo

In reply to lorenpr at gmail dot com: "I hope this ternary thing isn't overkill. Last thing - I would just like to make you aware of the side effect when you do this statement, <?php echo $some_var ? print 'true': print 'false'; ?> The result would be either 'true1' or 'false1', depending on whether $some_var is true or false respectively. This happens because of what I mentioned earlier. Figure it out." The reason it prints the 1 because whether the variable is true or false, in this case, print will always return 1 (true) Meaning this is the same thing: <?php echo print($some_var ? 'true' : 'false'); ?> print($some_var ? 'true' : 'false') = 1 So you echo 1, after the print takes place. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.echo.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+60433 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60433&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60433&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60433&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60433&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60433&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60433&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60433&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+60433&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
