[Resolved] What does this dreamweaver code do

[lupercal]

$theValue = (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? addslashes($theValue) : $theValue;

Especially the ?.. what does this do

[erikwebb]

It's just a trinary conditional statement. It's shorthand for the following:

if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc())
    addslashes($theValue);
else
    $theValue;

What the actual statement does, I have no idea.

it checks to see if magic quotes is turned on. If it is not, then it adds slashes to the string to avoid SQL Injection.
