I was about to correct myself to "ternary conditional operator" but that
gets about 50k fewer hits on google than "tertiary conditional operator."
However, the post to which I replied said he couldn't find it in the docs
although *he* knew it was a conditional operator. I surmised that was
because he, as I had at first, looked in 15. Operators. It's in 14.
Expressions. It *is* the "ternary conditional operator" in php documentation,
but that seems to be (by goodle hits) a minority opinion.
