Tip: PHP Ternary operator

[Chris]

This is a useful way to write your PHP if/else statements. It is called the Ternary operator.

(expr1) ? (expr2) : (expr3);

It says if expr1 is true then evaluate expr2 else evaluate expr3.

Here is the same thing using if/then:


if(expr1) {
expr2
} else {
expr3
}


It certainly makes for some cleaner code.

OK, you did it. But it took you a whole year to come up with 2 examples. :D

Yeah but it took me less than 5 minutes to come up with with them.

The real challenge will be to use 'ternary' in a poem.... That may take a while. :confused:

I'm way to weary to rhyme 'Ternary'
And if I could It'd be way to scary.
