Note Submitter: jorgeg@global-tools.com ---- To nick at m-tj dot co dot uk 02-May-2003 04:37 There's a page in the manual that explains that you cannot use language constructors in the ternary operator, but you CAN use functions...echo is a language constructor. Therefore, to implement the ternary operator you'll either have to: (isset($address1)) ? (print ("value=".$address1)) : $address1 = null; changing the language constructor echo for the function print or: echo (isset($address1) ? ("value=".$address1) : $address1 = null); I know that in this case if $address1 is not set this line code will try to echo $address1 (coincidentally is null, so it won't echo anything), but for the sake of the example let's assume it's what we wanted to do.
