ternary statement

[nikko50]

Hello there. I'm trying to get the below statement to show "0" if
$getallline[receivedsum]="";. Does'nt seem to work. See anything wrong with this??

$getallline[receivedsum] = ( $getallline[receivedsum] = "" ) ? '$getallline[receivedsum]="0"' : $getallline[receivedsum];

I see:

1. ( $getallline[receivedsum] = "" )

2. You have 1 equals sign here and this is an assigment, not a condition. You would want "==" or ( $getallline[receivedsum] == "" ) or ( $getallline[receivedsum] != "" ) instead.

3. Although this may not be a problem right now, but may cause problems later:
   You'll want ( and ) around the entire conditional statement so instead of:

( $getallline[receivedsum] = "" ) ? '$getallline[receivedsum]="0"' : $getallline[receivedsum];

You'd have:
(( $getallline[receivedsum] = "" ) ? '$getallline[receivedsum]="0"' : $getallline[receivedsum]);

I've seen PHP hang up on this depending on if you're putting it inline with other code. Here, it may not be a problem, but something to watch for...
