if-then-else on one line?

[Anon]

i know that there is a way in php to do an if-then-else on one line other than:

if ($x>$y) { echo $x; } else { echo $y; }

but can't for the life of me remember it. It is something like:

if ($x>$y) ? echo $x : echo $y;

but that isn't quite it. Does anyone know how it is done?

That is very similar to what i was thinking, but i thought i saw something even less involved than that. but i could be totally wrong. i'll just use what you have sent me unless i hear differently. thanks!

You wouldn't by any chance be thinking of Java script, eh?
