Well, this also fails the simple-as-possible test: if the value returned by
extension_loaded() can be used to drive the ?: operator, it must be
evaluable as a Boolean; this means you can use it directly for later use in
an if() or similar context:
$gd_loaded = extension_loaded('gd');
(And, indeed, a quick look at the manual reveals that extension_loaded
returns a bool, which is exactly what you want without any further ado.)
Cheers!
