PHP: Inline If

[filburt1]

Is there a way to do an inline if in PHP, similar to IIf in VB and the "condition ? true : false" thing in Java/Javascript/C++?

I get what you mean now, I don't think there is. at least I haven't read or seen one yet.

i know this is an old post but i thought i'd put an answer in case anyone else comes across this. there is a ternary operator that works similar to the javascript condition ? true : false but it returns the value derived from one of the expressions. so:

$test = 5;
$myval = ($test < 3) ? ("less than 3") : ("greater than or equal to 3");
echo $myval 

returns:
greater than or equal to 3
