Php function argument error suppression, empty() isset() emulation

Question

I\'m pretty sure the answer to this question is no, but in case there\'s some PHP guru

is it possible to write a function in a way where invalid arguments or non exi

Answer 1

Sean, you could do:

$result = ($func_result = doLargeIntenseFunction()) ? $func_result : 'no result';

EDIT:

I'm sure there could be a great discussion on ternary operators vrs function calls. But the point of this question was to see if we can create a function that won't throw an error if a non existent value is passed in without using the '@'

And I told you, check it with isset(). A ternary conditional's first part doesn't check null or not null, it checks true or false. If you try to check true or false on a null value in PHP, you get these warnings. isset() checks whether a variable or expression returns a null value or not, and it returns a boolean, which can be evaluated by the first part of your ternary without any errors.
