PHP boolean value assignment - El Forum - 12-10-2010

I see a lot of people doing this:
Code:
if ($foo === $bar)
{
$baz = true;
}
else
{
$baz = false;
}or...
Code:
$baz = $foo === $bar ? : true : false;Am I missing something?
Isn't this exactly the same, in every case, as this?
Code:
$baz = $foo === $bar;PHP boolean value assignment - El Forum - 12-10-2010

Yes, it is.
Try only difference is the readability, which reduces are you go down the list of your examples...

Its not common to people use a comparison as value to a variable, that's the reason.

Most of them don't know for last solution. Personaly I use it a lot, for simple expressions this is easier to read than first and second solution.
Also this can be used for any kind of comparsion when you need boolean as result.
