At this point, might as well make the Or operator silence E_NOTICE warnings: $user = $_SESSION['user] Or $_POST['user'] Or $local_user Or NULL; at least it would be readable. The biggest problem I have with using ?: is that down the line we might just have something like: $foo = $bar [EMAIL PROTECTED]&!: $qaz Inventing operators that consist more than one character can lead to trouble.
