Question

am confused with using this ternary operator, i can easily get 1 level if and else
e.g

($blah == $blah) ? blahblah : blahblahblah;

but what if the condition is like this?

if($blah == blah1)
{ 
  echo $blah1;
}
else if($blah == blah2)
{
 echo $blah2;
}
else
{
 echo $blah;
}

how to convert this using ternary operator ?

Answer 1

<?php echo $blah == 'blah1' ? $blah1 : ($blah == 'blah2' ? $blah2 : $blah); ?>

Notice how the else is wrapped in parenthesis. This can be done again and again, although it becomes confusing to read.
