php iif? (if and only if)

Recommended Posts

say for e.g

function Get_Occupation() {
return $this->row['Occupation'];
}

does php have a iif function? so in 1 line i can do something like

return iif($this->row['Occupation'] != "", $this->row['Occupation'], "Undisclosed");

so to say if the occupation isnt blank, return it, otherwise return 'undisclosed' any one know?

What does if and only if mean? Computers aren't wishy washy, it's not like they'll see
if($x == 6){
}

and think "five is close to six, I guess 5 counts too";
if means if, how could you have an if that isn't "only" if?

Almost. It has the tertiary operator that is a short-hand for the "if-then-else" sequence. This is one way of solving your problem:
[code]<?php
function iff($tst,$cmp,$bad) {
return(($tst == $cmp)?$cmp:$bad);
}

echo iff('one','two','three').'<br>';
echo iff('four','four','ok');
?>[/code]
