[Resolved] Colon/Questionmark Strangeness

[Kold]

Hi.

I have been reading through some PHP code (not mine) and have found something that I have not seen anywhere.

The code looks like;

something : something_else ? something_more

(That is from memory, I do not have access to code now).

What is this sort of thing called? It looks like it works similar to an 'if' statement, but I cant figure it out.

Thanks for any info.
Sorry if it has nothing at all to do with PHP! lol.

You mixed the syntax up a little, but you're looking for the ternary conditional operator.

It is described in Expressions

Thank You!!
