[SOLVED] how to do a conditional assignment

[jeffjohnvol]

I know this is a noobish question, but is there an easier way to write:

 

if ($YN=="Y"){

    $YSelected="selected";

  }

elseif ($YN=="N") {

    $NSelected = "selected";

  }

 

I thought there was a way to do this on a single line.

<?php
if ($YN=="Y")
     $YSelected="selected";
else
     $NSelected = "selected";
?>

 

Since each if/else has one statement, you don't need the braces...

If you want to rework your code, you could do

 

$selected = ($YN == "Y") ? "YES" : "NO";

I think you gave me what I needed....  I'll just do:

 

$Yselected = ($YN == "Y") ? "selected" : "";

$Nselected = ($YN == "N") ? "selected" : "";

 

Thanks, as well as the reminder about the braces.

You could condense that into:

 

($YN == 'Y') ? $Yselected = 'SELECTED' : $Nselected = 'SELECTED';

 

(Assuming $YN is always either Y or N)
