PHP Operators: Ternary Operator

PHP Operators Step By Step Tutorial - Part 7: Ternary operator is the other condition of operator which evaluates the expression of representing moderation model of if... else.... statement. Ternary operator is written down with ?:. Its syntax:

(expr1) ? (expr2) : (expr3);

If expr1 is evaluated as true, hence expr2 is done, while if expr2 is evaluated as false, hence expr3 is done.

Pay attention to the example of using Ternary operator at script as following:

File name: ternaryoperator.php

<html>
<head>
<title>Using Ternary Operator</title>
</head>

<body>
<h1>Using Ternary operator</h1>
<?
	$x = 15;
	$y = 7;
	$z = ($x > $y)?($x / $y):($y * $x);
	printf ("x = %d <br>", $x);
	printf ("y = %d <br>", $y);
	printf ("z = %d <br>", $z);
	$value = 95;
	$info = ($value>=60)? "Pass": "Do not pass";
	printf ("value = %d <br>",$value);
	printf ("info = %s", $info);
?>
</body>
