Hi Matthew,
Please check out the manual for details on the ternary operator - then consider that
vis-a-vis "code blocks".
The 'traditional' alternative using 'code blocks' would be:
$check = databaseFn(...);
if ( $check )
// then clause = successful, proceed with process
// (opt) else clause = failure, note in log/on screen, set indicators as appropriate,
return
// use NOT in the condition if makes the code easier to read
