Question

This may be simple and silly question but first I am learning php so your help would be appreciated.

I am trying to get variable with assigned conditional statement.

$gender = $curauth->gender; // getting from wordpress user profile.

if($gender === 'Male') {
    echo 'his';
} else {
    echo 'her';
}

So what I want to do is it will check if user is Male than in some description it will use his and if female it will use her. Something like below

echo 'jatin soni doesn't have set this option yet. His option will be deactivated soon.';

So here His will be set with above conditional code.

Answer 1

You can echo it straight out:

echo 'jatin soni doesn\'t have set this option yet. ', 
     ($gender === 'Male' ? 'His' : 'Her'), 
     ' option will be deactivated soon.';

If you need that more than once or for readability reasons, you should assign it to a variable:

# Default Female:
$gender = empty($curauth->gender) ? 'Female' : $curauth->gender;

$hisHer = $gender === 'Male' ? 'His' : 'Her';
echo 'jatin soni doesn\'t have set this option yet. ', 
     $hisHer, 
     ' option will be deactivated soon.';

Next step could be variable substitution in double-quoted strings^Docs or the use of the printf^Docs function for formatted output.
