UBB.Developers Forums Community Development Programming PHP and Server-side Scripting [PHP] Cool little trick

I just read about this in the PHP manual:

$variable = (expression1 ? expression2 : expression3);

$variable will result in expression2 if expression1 evaluates to true, or expression3 if it is false.

and then there's double, or even triple:


------------------

That's the ternary operator. Perl and other languages use it too.

--mark

Ternary = good, eh Mark?
