Re: $i % 2 ? 0:

it's an if/else shortcut. the part before the '?' is tested. '$i % 2' in your case. the part after the '?' is returned if the test evals to true. '0' in your case. the part after the ':' is returned if the test evels to false. i've never tried it with nothing after the ':' like in your case. guess it could be the same as an if without an else. hope this helps, mike on 8/25/01 10:38 AM, BRACK at brak@nettaxi.com wrote: > Hi > > Can someone explain to me what "$i % 2 ? 0:" means or what it > does step by step?
