Note Submitter: rstrz ---- @awls99 at gmail dot com "ej at iconcept dot fo" did not make any mistake in his/hers code. The parentheses are not obligatory and are only there to make your life as the developer easier. It's a matter of coding standard. Personally I'm all crazy and do <?php $foo = (($bar == true) ? 'cool' : 'na thanks'); ?>. You may even write that statement without any parentheses at all: <?php $foo = $bar == true ? 'cool' : 'na thanks'; ?>. Still valid
