Ternary Operator in PHP (and javascript)
August 31, 2007
$ternary = ‘Awesome’;
print 'Does Ternany Rock? ';
print ( ($ternany == ‘Awesome’)?(’Yea it sure does.’):(’No.’) );Outputs: Does Ternany Rock? Yea it sure does.
It’s a much more lightweight way of writing a simple if-statement with two outputs.
