Being Concise (cont)

Example: 

$attr = (!$name) ? "novalue" : "value='$name'";

... is a reasonable alternative to ...

if (!$name)
	$attr = "novalue";
else
	$attr = "value='$name'";

On the other hand ... 

$len = ($len < BUFSIZE) ? $len : BUFSIZE;

... is probably better expressed as ... 

if ($len >= BUFSIZE) $len = BUFSIZE;
