I prefer the ?= $foo ? version. It's shorter, cleaner and easier to read. Many people mistakenly think that short version is going to be deprecated away. It is not. The PHP Devs have already clarified only the ? version is, not this one. http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.short-open-tag Also the short if version 1 == 1 ? True : false should be replaced if i'm correct. You are not. ;-) The Ternary operator statement would never go away. It is a standard comparison operator in pretty much any language and would be completely stupid of the PHP Devs to deviate that far from the norm. http://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.comparison.php Plus I love that operator and use it quite frequently. However, I use it like this just for clarity: echo your result is .((1 == 1) ? 'true' : 'false').'br'; Second question: zend studio displays all variables used by a script by clicking the arrow next to te file name. I've used ZS for 4+ years now, and comicaly have never even used those little down arrows next to a file. HAHAH! Good to know. Although it is a little strange as they seem to only be where you use a = assignment. It doesn't know about - or other instances of that variable (like if you echo it or something). But still could prove useful. If you want to display it in runtime, you can: print_r($GLOBALS); Whoa nelly! That prints out WAAY too much information ;-) But thanks. Not sure why I didn't think of that one. Maybe because at one time I did use it, got sensory overload from the amount of data it spews to the page, and then blocked it out of my mind for future use. :) ÐÆ5ÏÐ There are only 11 types of people in this world.

But still could prove useful. Eclipse/Zend Studio is so full of options that you can miss a lot of them. Another downside of the little arrow thing is that it doesn't recognize arrays, which is obvious because arrays can only be read on runtime, well, same thing as objects. If you want to display it in runtime, you can: print_r($GLOBALS); Whoa nelly! That prints out WAAY too much information ;-) But thanks. Not sure why I didn't think of that one.

You can also install xDebug and use the included debugger in ZS, but sometimes using a simple print_r is faster.

[PHP] regex or 'tidy' script to fix broken ? tags and introspection of variables
I've inherited a bunch of code and the previous developers have done two things that are really bugging me and I want to clean up. [a] They use short-tag ? instead of ?php. Anyone have some good search/replace style Regex (ideally for ZendStudio/Eclipse) that will run through all the files in the project and fix those? There are lots of cases to account for such as a space after the ? or nospace or a newline or even other text (which are all valid cases). [b] The other thing they do use use register_globals in the php.ini file. Is there a good way to see all the variables that a page uses? Something I can print at the bottom of the page on my dev box - ideally with enough introspection to know where that variable originated from, and then I can start converting things to $_GET, $_POST, $_SESSION, $_COOKIE, etc.
