Ternary Conditionals in PHP
— Ternary Conditionals are one of those things in php that can save some time when writing code and possibly make your code easier to read. I think many people don’t use them because they look a little strange ( at least thats what happened to me ).
if ($iExample == 1)
{
$bVariable = true;
}
else
{
$bVariable = false;
}
In the example above, if the statement is true then, it will set $bVariable to true or else it will set it to false. This is a regular conditional statement where if a condition is true something happens or else (if the condition is false) other thing happen. Conditional statements like that could be easily handled with a ternary conditional:
$bVariable = ($iExample == 1) ? true : false;
As you can see the syntax of the Ternary Conditional is pretty simple and looks good as its fits all in one line.
Variable = (condition) ? its true : its false;

Not to mention the syntax is the same (except for using $ for variables) as in C++…
