PHP Shorthand

[monkey64]

I'm a newbie and I'm trying to simplify my code.  Instead of:

echo "var is ";
if ($var < 0)
echo "negative";
else
echo "positive"; 

 

I'm using this:

echo "var is ".($var < 0 ? "negative" : "positive");

 

But, in this example, I want to simplify it in the same manner.

 

if($finance > '2000') {
$loan = $finance - 2000;
$deposit = $loan;	
} else {		
	$loan = $finance;
	$deposit = $finance / 10; // 10% of Discount Price
	}

 

Thing is, in each condition, I have two variables.  Can it be simplified?

$loan = ($finance > '2000') ? $finance - 2000 : $finance;
$deposit = ($finance > '2000') ? $loan : $finance / 10;

Thanks for the quick reply.  It worked fine.

 

Would this be faster to execute than my original version?

Any difference would be negligible.
