PHP ?: ternary operator the Elvis operator

~ tadmin

You can use ?: ternary operator in PHP then you need not empty value. Set value to a $action variable from $_POST[‘action’] parameter if it is not empty or use string default instead. It is shown in the example code below:

// Example usage for: Ternary Operator
$action = (empty($_POST['action'])) ? 'default' : $_POST['action'];

For more information see PHP documentation page for Ternary Operator.

In PHP 5.3, a shorter syntax for the ternary operator was introduced, which allows to leave out the middle part of the ternary operator for a quick shorthand evaluation. It is also called the Elvis operator sometimes because:

mysqldump: Got error: 1045: “Access denied for user … (using password: YES)” when using LOCK TABLES

~ tadmin

Then I’ve developed MySQL backup script I’ve faced an error:

mysqldump: Got error: 1045: "Access denied for user '...'@'localhost' (using password: YES)" when using LOCK TABLES

which was fixed by adding 

--lock-tables=false

parameter to mysqldump command.

Also, if you dump InnoDB tables consider using the 

--single-transaction=true

parameter. As it is described in MySQL 5.7 documentation page.
