note 27688 added to language.operators

note that the ternary operator comes BEFORE the "." (string concatenate) operator... so $a = 'eric is a '.(1) ? 'goofball' : 'kitty-cat'; echo $a; this snippet returns "goofball" instead of "eric is a goofball". $a = 'eric is a '.((1) ? 'goofball' : 'kitty-cat'); echo $a; This snippet returns "eric is a goofball". this little oversight bit me on the metaphorical ass :-) so hopefully this'll help others... -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+27688 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+27688 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+27688
