[FX.php List] Editing Checkboxes

[Joel Shapiro]

Hi

I'm curious about the question mark and the colon in the structure of  
this line:

$checked = ( eregi($value,$dJP['answer06'][0])) ? "checked=\"checked 
\"" : "";

Is it the same as saying:

if ( eregi($value,$dJP['answer06'][0]) ) {
	$checked = "checked";
} else {
	$checked = "";
}

Is this specific to regular expressions?
