Conditional in $this->table->add_row() - El Forum - 12-21-2010

Hey folks:
New to codeigniter and I haven't coded much in the last 10 years so my aged brain is rusty. Can I drop a longhand conditional into $this->table->add_row()?
Code:
$this->table->add_row(
if($p->gender=='1')
{'Male'} else {'Female'},
switch($p->age) {
case 0:
'17 and younger';
break;
case 1:
'18-25';
break;
default:
'Old Fart';
}
);I'm getting Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SWITCH and T_IF errors when using longhand. Shorthand if/else work.
If I can't do this can you suggest an alternate solution?
Cheers,
skribe

No, you cant use the longhand version inside that. Just assign those to variables. Its much cleaner that way too:
Code:
$gender = ($p->gender == 1) ? 'Male' : 'Female';
switch ($p->age)
{
case 0:
$age = '17 and younger';
break;
case 1:
$age = '18-25';
break;
default:
$age = 'Old fart';
break;
}
$this->table->add_row($gender,$age);Conditional in $this->table->add_row() - El Forum - 12-22-2010

Thanks, mate. That worked a treat.
