Multiple results using ternary condition

[ChadNomad]

Hey. I've just started using the ternary operator to shorten my code and make it more readable. I'm curious to know if you can have more than one result returned and how (if you can).

 

I've currently got this:

$password == $passwordConfirm ? $valid[3] = 1 : $valid[3] = 0;

 

I'd like to add $vError++ as well in the "else" part if it's possible. Thanks.

Even if you could (which I don't think you can) I would'nt recommend it. Its going to make your code that much more difficult to follow.

How would you ever "return" more than 1 result.

Do you mean you want to perform more than 1 action per operator section?

e.g.

 

$password == $passwordConfirm ? $valid[3] = 1 AND $valid[7] = true : $valid[3] = 0;

 

(btw the above code is nonsense, before you try it)

 

If you want to do that you need to use an if statement, or two ternary statements.

$result1 = $password == $passwordConfirm ? $valid[3] = 1 : $valid[3] = 0;
$result2 = $password == $passwordConfirm ? $valid[7] = "my var" : $valid[7] = 0;

OR

if($password == $passwordConfirm){
  $valid[3] = 1;
  $valid[7] = "my var";
} else {
  $valid[3] = 0;
  $valid[7] = 0;
}

I did mean that. Also why is it nonsense? AND works fine...
