RE: [PHP] Better way (if...elseif...else)

$fcol = ($priority == "000") ? "high" : (($prioridy == "050") ? "med" : "low"); $pstr .= sprintf( "<option value=\"000\" %s>High\n". "<option value=\"050\" %s>Medium\n". "<option value=\"100\" %s>Low\n", ($priority == "000") ? "selected" : "", ($priority == "050") ? "selected" : "", ($priority == "100") ? "selected" : ""); That should do the trick!!

Kirchner [mailto:ashley@pcraft.com] Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2001 3:56 PM To: PHP-General List Subject: [PHP] Better way (if...elseif...else) Is there a better way to write the following snippet: if ($priority == "000") { $fcol="high"; $pstr .= "<option value=\"000\" selected>High\n"; $pstr .= "<option value=\"050\">Medium\n"; $pstr .= "<option value=\"100\">Low\n"; } elseif ($priority == "050") { $fcol="med"; $pstr .= "<option value=\"000\">High\n"; $pstr .= "<option value=\"050\" selected>Medium\n"; $pstr .= "<option value=\"100\">Low\n"; } else { $fcol="low"; $pstr .= "<option value=\"000\">High\n"; $pstr .= "<option value=\"050\">Medium\n"; $pstr .= "<option value=\"100\" selected>Low\n"; } I just hate having to repeat pieces of code. This piece here just generates a drop down list of items, with the current one being the selected one.
