Isn’t this the correct syntax for a shorthand if() elseif() else:
$var = (($action == 'edit') ? 'Edit' : ($action == 'delete') ? 'Delete' : 'New');
I have a page where $_GET[‘mode’] can equal ‘edit’ or ‘delete’
Then I call:
$action = (isset($_GET['mode']) ? $_GET['mode'] : 'insert');
Whether or not $_GET[‘mode’] equals ‘edit’ or ‘delete’, $var above never equals ‘Edit’…
Hi tictike,
this code is fine. You just have to print the $action variable and pass mode=edit or delete in the querystring. It is showing the right thing to me.
echo $action = (isset($_GET['mode']) ? $_GET['mode'] : 'insert');
It’s very important where you place parenthesis in nested ternary operators. Basically if you want a nest a ternary operator in an existing ternary operator you need to put parentheses around the whole thing your nesting.
$a ? $b : ( $c ? $d : ( $e ? $f : $g ) )
The following should work “as planned” :
$var = $action == 'edit' ? 'Edit' : ($action == 'delete' ? 'Delete' : 'New');
