Mental block... if statement within var

[zzz]

I have a code that compiles a block of code from separate variables. However I just figured out that I need to add condition within the block of code that is actually a variable. Is that possible? Not sure how...

Here's what I'm talking about. I need to ad if/else inside $content:

$content = "&raquo; <a href='".$_SERVER[ 'PHP_SELF' ]."?ses=".urlencode(session_id())."'>Home</a>";

<card title="<? echo  $TTL; ?>" newcontext="true">
	<? echo $content; ?>
</card>

:bemused:

You can use the ? operator for this. For example:

$content = "Hello $user, ".(date('H') < 12 ? 'Goodmorning' : 'Goodday')." to you!<br>";

Oh yah, I've seen people use those but never had a need myself. Thanks, I'll read a bit more on the use.

Here is the long way.

 $content = "Hello $user, ";
   if((date('H') < 12){ 
     $content .= 'Goodmorning';
   } else {
     $content .= 'Goodday';
   }
$content .= " to you!<br>"; 

mjax's example is the way to go.
