Question

I’m wondering if it’s possible to replicate:

if ($a = 1) {
    header('Location: http://google.com');
    exit;
} else {
    header('Location http://yahoo.com');
    exit;
}

Using short hand? Maybe…

$a = 1 ? header('Location: http://google.com') : header('Location http://yahoo.com');
exit;

This does not seem to work, meaning I’m always redirected to google. =(

Answer 1

Try this:

header ( 'Location: ' . ( $a == 1 ? 'http://google.com' : 'http://yahoo.com' ) );

Note that $a = 1 is an assignment and will always evaluate to true. You need == to achieve comparison.
