By the way, beware of possibly buggy code: strpos() will return 0 if the string begins with '-', but it will return FALSE if '-' is not found in the string.
Since both 0 and FALSE will evaluate to boolean false in your condition, you may get weird results. Use this instead: (strpos($a, '-') !== FALSE) ?
