TalkPHP - View Single Post - Using ISSET()...How does this line of code work?

It may not be, you'd be surprised... I find it extremely handy to have on hand, but then again I'm all about shorthand. A lot of my code will do things like;

PHP Code:


			
if ($bool === true) return true;
    return false;

...instead of...

PHP Code:


			
if ($bool === true) {
    return true;
} else {
    return false;
}

...which would also be a situation where the ternary could be used...

PHP Code:


			
return ($bool === true) ? true : false;

-m
