I often need to extract an integer from the query string, and I have a bad tendency of doing it differently every time.
Lately I have been using the following: $page_index = is_numeric($_GET['page']) ? (int)$_GET['page'] : null; which can also be used like: $page_index = is_numeric($_GET['page']) ? (int)$_GET['page'] : $default_page; Is there a better or more idiomatic way of doing it? I know most people hate seeing the ternary operator combined with assignment, and I was wondering if there is a more readable one-liner that I am missing.
