Syntax help

[garethhall]

Hi I have not seen this syntax can some tell what it means?

$name_sql = ($newTemplateName===$templateNewname)? '' : "`name`='$newTemplateName',";

If you mean the ?: then that is a ternary operator.

That is an if statement in short hand.  It's the same as:

 

if($newTemplateName===$templateNewname) {
   $name_sql = "`name`='$newTemplateName',";
}

Actually jtgraphic its not.. It is the same as:

if($newTemplateName!==$templateNewname) {
   $name_sql = "`name`='$newTemplateName',";
}

or

if($newTemplateName===$templateNewname) {
   $name_sql = "";
} else {
$name_sql = "`name`='$newTemplateName',"
}

You're completely correct.  I must have gone a little cross-eyed there.
