$max = ($value > $max) ? $value : max

[Anon]

$max = ($value > $max) ? $value : max

can anyone explain what does the above line means?

[Anon]

it says that the string max will become the string value if the string value is greater than the string max.

$max = ($value > $max) ? $value : $max

If $value is greater than $max, then set $max equal to $value. Otherwise set it equal to $max (i.e., no change). In short, $max is set to the larger of $value and $max.

[Note the added $. Without it PHP would probably complain and then set $max to the string "max".]

OIC... thanks alot... but how about the line behind it? which is:

? $value : max

What does that means?
The script given to me is "? $value : max" not "? $value : $max"

Must be an error...coz in the condition it's using $max.
