Question

I’ve been trying to use isset() in nested form like below:

isset($_POST['selectedTemplate'])?$_POST['selectedTemplate']:isset($_GET['selectedTemplate'])?$_GET['selectedTemplate']:0

But seems I’m missing something. Can anyone assist me how to do it?

Wrap it in parentheses:

$selectedTemplate = isset($_POST['selectedTemplate'])
                  ? $_POST['selectedTemplate']
                  : (
                       isset($_GET['selectedTemplate'])
                       ? $_GET['selectedTemplate']
                       : 0
                  );

Or even better, use a proper if/else statement (for maintainability):

$selectTemplate = 0;

if (isset($_POST['selectedTemplate'])) {
    $selectTemplate = $_POST['selectedTemplate'];
} elseif (isset($_GET['selectedTemplate'])) {
    $selectTemplate = $_GET['selectedTemplate'];
}

However, as others have pointed out: it would simply be easier for you to use $_REQUEST:

$selectedTemplate = isset($_REQUEST['selectedTemplate'])
                  ? $_REQUEST['selectedTemplate']
                  : 0;
