Shorthand

[eluser]RESPECT[/eluser]
This is just a general PHP question...Im wondering if this would work:

Code:

$query = $this->db->get_where('portfolio', array('id' => $id), 1)  = (!$query) ? return $query->row() : return false;

Or would I have to do it this way?

Code:

$query = (!is_null($this->db->get_where('portfolio', array('id' => $id), 1))) ? return $query->row() : return false;

Thanks in advance!
