[Setting A Variable, Ternary Operator Vs. Error Control Operator]

Oh, you're absolutely right. I first thought that the @ ignored the error handler altogether, but it doesnt. It calls it, but just doesnt do anything with it. I did a supersimple test and it shows that the ternary operator was 4 times faster.

 

With performance out of the picture any thoughts on using one over the other?

Just setup a script that gets a code, checks it and echoes out the status of it.

 

<?php


/**
* http://fastrak.com/track.php?code=ABCDEFGHIJ
*/


// get the CODE from the GET varaible
$code = isset($_GET["code"]) ? $_GET["code"] : "";


// to whatever you need to do to check if that $code is valid
// if its not valid return an 404 error


// then get the status of that code


$return = array(
   "status" => "get this status from the database or whatever",
);


// and echo that out
echo json_encode($return);


?>

[Setting A Variable, Ternary Operator Vs. Error Control Operator]

Hi all.

 

What's the best practice with using the Ternary Operator vs. the Error Control Operator when setting a simple varaible? I doubt there is any performance issues?

 

<?php
$var = isset($_GET["var"]) ? $_GET["var"] : "";
$var = @$_GET["var"];
?>
