Interesting... I wish I could just input the hex directly,
unfortunately I don't have that option

Hi,
I must be tired because I can't figure this out... I am sure it is
something obvious.
I need to pass a hex value to a method, but I can't figure out how to
convert a hex string to a hex value.
For exmaple:
$base = '96989b'
my_method('0x' . $base)
The above does not work with my_method().

I would stay clear of the ternary operator in nested coditions, for
obvious reasons. If it can fit in a single line and is essentially
clear in its message I dont see why not to use it.

Whats wrong with an if *construct* ? I understand that the ternary
operator is another way of doing it. Using it in such a small scenario
is perfectly justifiable. Its ridiculous to use in more complicated
scenarious because of readability issues.
Direct string comparison? You suggested yet anothe
Because it is an if statement, just in a different form, and preg_match is more
computational expensive than a direct string comparison.

What about using settype() on the string? I've not tested it, but it looks like

Bit late to this one, but what about an mvc framework like codeigniter? It's
perfectly acceptable to use if statements and loops in the view, which would
