Bug description: conditional concatenator
Description:
------------
A conditional concatenator would evaluate a boolean test, then concatenate
a value onto the left operand. This operator would simplify scripts by
eliminating a kludge. The motive behind this request is to readily
construct SQL queries via PHP which can be easily reread and understood
with minimal confusion by a follow-on person maintaining the script(s).
Reproduce code:
---------------
// kludge
$sz_string = 'foo';
if ($bool_test) { $sz_string .= 'bar'; }
else { $sz_string .= 'baz'; }
echo $sz_string
// conditional concatenator
$sz_string = 'foo';
$sz_string .? ($bool_test) 'bar' : 'baz';
echo $sz_string
Expected result:
----------------
foobar
Actual result:
--------------
foobar
