variables

[otha]

Can a conditional statement be used as the assigning portion of a variable?

Course, you can use a ternitry operator. Eg:

[code=php:0]$color = 'red';

$color = ($color == 'red') ? 'blue' : 'red';[/code]

Or the longer version is:
[code=php:0]if($color == 'red')
{
    $color = 'blue';
}
else
{
    $color = 'red';
}[/code]
