So what in my post suggested that I didn't double check?

Anyway, you were warned about it and even then, by inference, managed to misread the beginning of the OP! Who is it that has to double check? Try counting the number of function calls in the first code block of the OP.

ry counting the number of function calls in the first code block of the OP.

You're right there are two function calls. But they are both called Function(), not Function1() and Function2() as in your example.

Whirrr-click-whirrr. Yes. That's right. The OP is calling the same function twice!.

And if you looked just a few lines further down, he acknowledges in his second code sample where he tries to avoid that:

$Target = ($temp = Function($params)) ? $temp : $DefaultValue;

It's one thing to misread a post, we've all done that. But to fail to double check when it is suggested you should; and then claim you already did; and then respond with such .... (I'll let you fill in the rest.)

Nice one. I bet you're a Jackass fan aren't you.

I saw that it was the same function call - doh - but since the OP was giving it as an example of style as opposed to a specific code snippet, I considered that the general case of function1 and function2 was absolutely required in my response - function1 = function2 is a special case that doesn't affect the question of best syntax. On the other hand labelling them 1 and 2 is clearer.

OK so one could say you checked the text of the OP, but surely it is reasonable to raise a theory of style to a reasonable level of abstraction and I am surprised you don't even see that that is what I wad doing. You really think adding 1 and 2 to the function names was a misread on my part? get real!

function1 = function2 is a special case that doesn't affect the question of best syntax. On the other hand labelling them 1 and 2 is clearer.

If you (now) take the time to double-check the OP, then from the second code block alone, it is very plain to see that function1() == function2() is not a "special case", but the only case.

And if you read the OPs text, is is even more clear.

So, first you only read 1/4 of the post; 2) you misinterpret it; 3) you assume that all the other respondents have misread it and rubbish their replies; 5) you ignore a polite suggestion to double check your interpretation and come back with a shitty response; 6) you post this meaningless drivel.

And you think I need to "get real".
