Question

Can you have an “if” statement within an “array” function?

 $my_array = array(
    'foo' => $foo,
    'bar' => 'bar',
    'lorem' => $lorem,
    if($z == 'z'){ 'ipsum' => $ipsum }
);

my question of course pertains to line 5, the 4th item in the array. It doesn’t seem to want to work, is there a bettwe way to do it?

Answer 1

You can’t do that. Just add the if statement after.

$my_array = array(
    'foo' => $foo,
    'bar' => 'bar',
    'lorem' => $lorem
);

if($z == 'z'){
    $my_array['ipsum'] = $ipsum;
}
