lists problem with Tempory Operators

[ricky spires]

Hello.

 

Im having trouble using a Tempory Operator in a list. maybe someone might know a way around it.

 

so the list below has 3 Tempory Operators.

 

the first 1 looks for pages with links that are internal links

the first 2 looks for pages with links that are external links

the first 3 looks for pages with links that have no links

 

if the link is a "nonTitle" it will be a normal list item

if the link is a "title" it will be a header for a sub list (class="subexpandable")

 

the problem is that every time it gets to the '; at the end of each Tempory Operators it breaks

 

 

 

THIS IS NOT WORKING

<ul>
	//FIND INTERNAL LINKS
	echo $type == "internal" && $list == "nonTitle" ? '<li><a href="index.php">'.$title.'</a></li>' : '<li><a href="index.php" class="subexpandable">'.$title.'</a>';


	//FIND EXTERNAL LINKS	
	echo $type == "external" && $list == "nonTitle" ? '<li><a href="http://www.url.com">'.$title.'</a></li>' : '<li><a href="http://www.url.com" class="subexpandable">'.$title.'</a>';


	//FIND NON LINKS	
	echo $type == "non" && $list == "nonTitle" ? '<li><a>'.$title.'</a></li>' : '<li><a class="subexpandable">'.$title.'</a>';


                //GET SUB LINKS
	echo'
	<ul class="subcategoryitems" style="margin-left: 15px">
                <li><a href="">sub link</a></li>
	</ul>
        </li>
</ul>';

 

 

 

 

If i put the sub level inside of each type it works but then i keep having to use the same code over.

 

 

 

THIS IS WORKING

 

<ul>
	//FIND INTERNAL LINKS
	echo $type == "internal" && $list == "nonTitle" ? '<li><a href="index.php">'.$title.'</a></li>' : '<li><a href="index.php" class="subexpandable">'.$title.'</a>
                <ul class="subcategoryitems" style="margin-left: 15px">
                <li><a href="">sub link</a></li>
	</ul>
        </li>';


	//FIND EXTERNAL LINKS	
	echo $type == "external" && $list == "nonTitle" ? '<li><a href="http://www.url.com">'.$title.'</a></li>' : '<li><a href="http://www.url.com" class="subexpandable">'.$title.'</a>
<ul class="subcategoryitems" style="margin-left: 15px">
                <li><a href="">sub link</a></li>
	</ul>
        </li>';


	//FIND NON LINKS	
	echo $type == "non" && $list == "nonTitle" ? '<li><a>'.$title.'</a></li>' : '<li><a class="subexpandable">'.$title.'</a>
<ul class="subcategoryitems" style="margin-left: 15px">
                <li><a href="">sub link</a></li>
	</ul>
        </li>';

</ul>';

 

 

 

so is there a way to do the first example without having to do the second example

 

 

 

thanks

Not sure if this is going to work for you, but I'll throw it out there.

echo '<ul>'
	//FIND INTERNAL LINKS
	.($type == "internal" && $list == "nonTitle" ? '<li><a href="index.php">'.$title.'</a></li>' : '<li><a href="index.php" class="subexpandable">'.$title.'</a>').'  


	//FIND EXTERNAL LINKS	
	'.($type == "external" && $list == "nonTitle" ? '<li><a href="http://www.url.com">'.$title.'</a></li>' : '<li><a href="http://www.url.com" class="subexpandable">'.$title.'</a>').' 


	//FIND NON LINKS	
	'.($type == "non" && $list == "nonTitle" ? '<li><a>'.$title.'</a></li>' : '<li><a class="subexpandable">'.$title.'</a>').' 


                //GET SUB LINKS

	'.'<ul class="subcategoryitems" style="margin-left: 15px">
                <li><a href="">sub link</a></li>
	</ul>
        </li>
</ul>';

Actually, this looks better.

<?php
echo '<ul>';
	//FIND INTERNAL LINKS
echo ($type == "internal" && $list == "nonTitle" ? '<li><a href="index.php">'.$title.'</a></li>' : '<li><a href="index.php" class="subexpandable">'.$title.'</a>');  


	//FIND EXTERNAL LINKS	
echo ($type == "external" && $list == "nonTitle" ? '<li><a href="http://www.url.com">'.$title.'</a></li>' : '<li><a href="http://www.url.com" class="subexpandable">'.$title.'</a>'); 


	//FIND NON LINKS	
echo ($type == "non" && $list == "nonTitle" ? '<li><a>'.$title.'</a></li>' : '<li><a class="subexpandable">'.$title.'</a>'); 


                //GET SUB LINKS

echo '<ul class="subcategoryitems" style="margin-left: 15px">
                <li><a href="">sub link</a></li>
	</ul>
        </li>
</ul>';
?>

Tempory Operator

Ternary. It's called the ternary operator.
