Re: [PHP] Quick questions ?=something?
Yeah - it is valid. It is a short hand method for doing what you are doing. I don't know if it is in the manual, but it is in the certification guide.

Re: [PHP] Quick questions ?=something?
?= $string ? means the same as ?php echo $string ? if short_open_tag is on ** It's perfectly valid PHP, I use it all the time on my own sites, but because it's one of those php.ini settings you have a 50/50 chance of finding on (or off!) you shouldn't rely on it unless you know the environment. Hey all, Thanks guys, I didnt know about any short_open_tag setting, I guess I'll just stick to my regular style coz i have no idea how the client/s php is setup plus if I move my own stuff to a different host it may not be so kind... Perfect answer to my Q, thanks! Cheers, Ryan -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
