How is this any different from the already-implemented
ternary operator?
$sz_string .= ($bool_test) ? 'bar' : 'baz';

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
