Question

I want to change the variable being assigned based on condition, and I can seem to get it working.

$condition = false;

($condition !== false ? $array[1][$condition] : $array[1]) = 'Test';

In this example, if $condition isn’t false, I want to assign the string “Test” to $array[1][$condition]. Otherwise, assign it to $array[1]

I can easily do this like this:

if ($condition !== false) {
    $array[1][$condition] = 'Test'; }
else {
    $array[1] = 'Test'; }

But due to the nature of the code this can get quite cluttered, which is why I wish for it to be an inline conditional statement.

Thanks for any help!

$condition !== false ? $array[1][$condition] = "Test" : $array[1] = "Test";
