can somebody translate this for me?

[marcnyc]

I have never seen this syntax before and I was wondering if somebody can clarify what ? and : are/do...
just curious to learn, thanks...

( $row[0] == "public" ? "Public Access" : $row[0] )

It's called the ternary operator. Another way of doing and if-then-else statement. That one is like saying:

if($row[0] == "__public__") {
   echo "Public Access";
}
else {
   echo $row[0];
}
