note 25063 modified in control-structures by jmcastagnetto

[Editor's note: It would be better practice to use the ternary operator as argument for the "print" language construct, e.g.: print ($foo == $bar) ? "The match" : "They don't match"; Same approach can be used for assignment.] For short if-else's: if ($foo == $bar) { print "They match"; } else { print "They don't match"; } This can quickly be converted into: ($foo == $bar) ? print "They match" : print "They don't match"; This can be useful if the check's intention can be expressed in matter of a single function, like this. --was-- For short if-else's: if ($foo == $bar) { print "They match"; } else { print "They don't match"; } This can quickly be converted into: ($foo == $bar) ? print "They match" : print "They don't match"; This can be useful if the check's intention can be expressed in matter of a single function, like this. http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.php
