Question about using the ternary operator

[eldan88]

Hey!

 

I was having trouble using the ternary operator to check if an array exists in a table. For example if $name['name'] exists echo the value otherwise echo the "None". Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Basically, the ternary operator is like an if ... else ... statement.

 

$array['key'] ? echo "Array key exists." : echo "Array key does not exist.";

could be written as

if($array['key'){ echo "Array key exists."; } else { echo "Array key does not exist."; }

<?php

echo (isset($array['key'])) ?  "Array key exists." :  "Array key does not exist.";

Thank you for your help but i think it should be written like this  echo $array['key'] ?  "Array key exists." :  "Array key does not exist.";

<?php
echo (isset($array['key'])) ?  "Array key exists." :  "Array key does not exist.";

That Can also work. Thanks

Both options are possible as there is never only one solution to a problem.

 

But I'm glad that you could be helped here.
