Bit late to this one, but what about an mvc framework like codeigniter? It's
perfectly acceptable to use if statements and loops in the view, which would
solve your problem. You can set a trigger variable in the controller, and in
the header view, check to see if its set and output your
preg_match(/false/i, $string) ? false : true;

That's as bad as an if!
What about using settype() on the string? I've not tested it, but it looks like
it should do the trick.

It's simple, concise, understandble and does the job. So, I'm curious

Because it is an if statement, just in a different form, and preg_match is more
computational expensive than a direct string comparison.

I would stay clear of the ternary operator in nested coditions, for
obvious reasons. If it can fit in a single line and is essentially
clear in its message I dont see why not to use it.
