Question

This is making me lose my mind, so please help:

$param[] = ($k == 'page') ? (($i > 1) ? "{$k}-{$i}" : null) : "{$k}-{$v}";

what I want is:

if ($k == 'page')
    if ($i > 1)
        $param[] = "{$k}-{$i}";
    else
        $param[] = null;
else
    $param[] = "{$k}-{$v}";

Thanks!

Answer 1

Out of curiosity, is this clearer:

$param[] = ($k == 'page') ? ( ($i > 1) : 'page-'.$i : null ) : $k.'-'.$v;

Do you actually want to insert null, though?

EDIT:

I think you want this:

($k == 'page' && $i > 1) ? $params[] = 'page-'.$i : $params[] = $k.'-'.$v;

or

$params[] = ('page' == $k && 1 < $i) ? 'page-'.$i : $k.'-'.$v;

But! Don’t do it.

Instead just keep it simple and do:

if('page' == $k && 1 < $i) {
 // some comment
 $params[] = 'page-'.$i;
} else {
 // some comment
 $params[] = $k.'-'.$v;
}
