The ternary operator with many conditions has always confused me so I sat down and played with it for a while. Here are the results. This: echo ($var1 == 1) ? ($var2 == 2) ? ($var3 == 3) ? 'a' : 'b' : 'c' : 'd'; works just as: if ($var1 == 1) { if ($var2 == 2) { if ($var3 == 3) { echo 'a'; } else { echo 'b'; } } else { echo 'c'; } } else { echo 'd'; } Hope this will clear up some confusion! ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.comparison.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+33937 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+33937&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+33937&report=yes
