Noob QUESTION HERE...

[PlaGuE]

okay...Ive used this effectively once before.... but i havent used it in a while and cant remember where in the book i saw it... and where in php.net i seen an example used with it...

i feel kinda silly... but im here... asking away anyways...lol...


the thing im looking for is...sumtin like

($row['blah']==""?"0":$row['blah']) 

[{yak}]

That's an if statement that uses the ternary operator:

// one liner
$foobar = ($row['blah']== "") ? "0" : $row['blah'];



// would look like this written out
if($row['blah'] == "")
{
   $foobar = "0";
}
else
{
   $foobar = $row['blah'];
}

It seems bery useful.Confusing... but useful nontheless.

Hmm... What would i look for on PHP.NET for more examples of this...?

i tried ternary , ternary operations, ternary operator, ternary operators
