($test_var ? 'true' : 'false') . "."; // will output '$test_var is: false. echo "\n"; $test_var = true; echo "\$test_var is: " . ($test_var ? 'true' : 'false') . "."; // will output $test_var is: true. Deleting the parentheses results in a significant change in the output (which I can't explain): $test_var is: true. Hi,
In case you need to output a boolean as string concatenated with
another string:

$test_var = false;
echo “\$test_var is: ” . ($test_var ? ‘true’ : ‘false’) . “.”; // will output ‘$test_var is: false.
echo “\n”;
$test_var = true;
echo “\$test_var is: ” . ($test_var ? ‘true’ : ‘false’) . “.”; // will output $test_var is: true.

Deleting the parentheses results in a significant change in the output (which I can’t explain): $test_var is: true.
