Hello, I couldn't find this anywhere on google or PHP's site but I'm pretty sure there's an answer to it. How can I turn the following into something that resembles the ternary operator? <?php if($something) { $this = $that; } ?> I seem to remember it looking something like: <?php $this = ($something) || $that; ?> Although this isn't syntactically wrong, i.e. no errors, it did not do what I hoped it would do. (What it does is assign 1/true.) Thanks! Chris. p.s. No need to respond if your suggestion is: <?php if($something) { $this = $that; } ?>
