My above suggestion is the same as what Tom Elders suggested. I support it

yes, ternary condition does give a problem

I would advise the following as well

while($row = mysql_fetch_row):
if($condition = true) { $something = $value }
endwhile;

Thats a great shorthand, and gives good readability!

I think describing the ternary operator “?” as an if statement is a bit misleading. For example, inside a while loop:

while($row = mysql_fetch_row):
if($condition = true) { $something = $value }
endwhile;

that works. However, consider the following

while($row = mysql_fetch_row):
$something = ($condition = $true) ? $value : null;
endwhile;

If the condition is met, everything works fine, but on the next iteration of the loop, if the condition is not met, $something is set to null, which is probably not the desired effect 9 times out of 10.
