What is this PHP syntax called? ($var) ? $var = $var2 : $var = FALSE;

[eluser]Fenix[/eluser]
Can somebody point me to documentation for this PHP syntax or tell me what it is called?

Code:

($var) ? $var = $var2 : $var = FALSE;

That's a shortcut syntax to the If...Then...Else.

(Condition) ? (Do this if it evaluates to TRUE) : (Do this if it evaluates to FALSE) ;

They are equivalent :

Code:

if ($var === TRUE) {
   $xyz = 'foo';
}else {
   $xyz = 'bar';
}

Code:

$xyz = ($var === TRUE) ? 'foo' : 'bar' ;

It's called: ternary operator
