Sorry to nit-pick, but why is this one so ugly? I might come from the "c"
school, but I honestly find

$result = ($calculation > 0) ? $calculation : 0;

easy to read (and a little sexy too).

If you want a math formula, how about:

$result = ($calculation + sqrt($calculation * $calculation)) / 2;

now if you ask me, that one is ugly, ugly, ugly ;-)
