No problem, although I do find Steve's example a bit harder to read,
but I guess that's just habit, I do use the "((something) ? true :
false )" operator from time to time, but mostly for very short code,
as soon as the line grows I prefer an if/else statement.

Well, actually I prefer never to break out of PHP at all, and if I
need to output large amounts of HTML, then I tend to use a templating
engine (but perhaps I'm a bit biased because I work on a Content
Management System with included template-engine which makes that kind
of work really easy).
But I find that when I break out of PHP to do HTML then my code
becomes harder to maintain, and I often have to rewrite the HTML to
PHP outputting HTML when editing the code later.

Thanks! I hope you found the english version, danish tends to be a bit
hard to read for non-danes ;-)
