"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.
