Introduction to the use of php ternary operator, php operator

When we write PHP, if{...}else{...} is probably the most used Yes, but sometimes, we can use the ternary operation in C, which can reduce the code a lot!

<span>echo</span>

<span>$a</span> == 3 ? 'three' : 
<span>$a</span> == 4 ? 'foura' : 'other'<span>; 
</span><span>echo</span> "\n";
