note 54617 added to language.variables

In conditional assignment of variables, be careful because the strings may take over the value of the variable if you do something like this: <?php $condition = true; // Outputs " <-- That should say test" echo "test" . ($condition) ? " <-- That should say test" : ""; ?> You will need to enclose the conditional statement and assignments in parenthesis to have it work correctly: <?php $condition = true; // Outputs "test <-- That should say test" echo "test" . (($condition) ? " <-- That should say test " : ""); ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+54617 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54617&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54617&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54617&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54617&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54617&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54617&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+54617&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
