note 99100 added to control-structures.alternative-syntax

ej at iconcept dot fo made a small mistake, the correct usage for this alternative syntax is: <?php $hour = 11; print $foo = ($hour < 12 ? "Good morning!" : "Good afternoon!"); ?> the diference is the position of the ")" this syntax is very usefull for SQL queries where you may or may not have user input, like selecting date from a data base full range or limited by date if the user wants to, as in: <?php $SQL = 'SELECT * FROM TABLE where ad = "'.$_GET['graph'].'" ' .($_GET['min_date'] ? ' and date>="'.$_GET['min_date'].'"' : '') .($_GET['max_date'] ? ' and date<="'.$_GET['min_date'].'"' : '') .' order by date ASC;'; ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 81.193.135.6 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.alternative-syntax.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/99100 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99100/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99100/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99100/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99100/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99100/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99100/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99100 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/99100 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
