If statement in a variable

Rufus84

Hi
I have a code:

 $stac_limit = (get_field('_limit_transferu_stac')==999) ? get_field('_limit_transferu_stac')==$limitlandint : get_field('_limit_transferu_stac')>=$limitlandint;

but it's not working. is there any other way to write it so it works?

Thanks in advance

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!

Good to hear. What was your solution?

Rufus84

The code is acctually working. i thought it wasn't because I was comparing wrong things together. It supposed to be:

$stac_limit = ($limitlandint==999) ? get_field('_limit_transferu_stac')==$limitlandint : get_field('_limit_transferu_stac')>=$limitlandint;  

where $limitlandint = $_SESSION['key'];

Out of curiosity, but are you sure you cannot simplify that?

Rufus84

I don't know. Have you got any idea?

What are the possible values of $limitlandint and get_field('_limit_transferu_stac')? Also, in words, what are you trying to do by comparing them?

Rufus84

The code is for displaying posts in wordpress depending on the user's choice.

$limitlandint is either 999 or any other number for example 1 or 5. So when user selects 999 (which is no limit in select list) I'm checking for the posts with the field value of 999 and when user selects any other option I'm checkin for the post with field value of equal or more than the user's choice.

Ah. In this case 999 is a special value: it arguably does not even have to be a number. Therefore, it seems that you cannot simply this, beyond say, saving the return value of the get_field call in a variable.
