note 31748 added to language.operators.comparison

The documented example of the Ternary operator lead me to beleive that it could be interchanged with an If statement and without having programmed in C the note "operates as in C" didn't help me. So other people don't fall into the same error herre is what I wa trying to do: (isset($address1)) ? (echo "value=".$address1) : $address1 = null; which gave me an "Unexpected 'echo'" error when I was expecting the same result as if I had used: if (isset($address1)){ echo "value=".$address1; } else { $address1 = null; } As I understand it, the Ternary operator is used only for assigning values and can't have functions as the resultant expressions. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.comparison.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+31748 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+31748 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+31748
