[PHP] Shortcuts of If-Else statement
Posted: 5 Apr 2009, 16:58pm - Sunday

When I learn PHP last September 2005, I was little bit confuse in PHP if-else statement... especially a statement contains with ? and : but somehow, I got it right. I post this cause somebody ask again what's the difference. So told him, its all the same and its just a shortcuts. <?php $authenticated = true; // [1] standard if-else statement if ($authenticated) {      echo 'YES'; } else {       echo 'NO'; } // same with [1] :P if ($authenticated) { echo 'YES'; } else { echo 'NO'; } // [2] lil bit shortcut if ($authenticated)       echo 'YES'; else       echo 'NO'; // [3] the shortcut echo $result = ($authenticated) ? 'YES' : 'NO'; ?> Or let me say its an evolution of if-else statement... Hahaha.. or maybe the laziness of the programmer. :P So got it? hehehehe..
