What's the best, preferred way of writing if shorthand one-liner such as:
expression ? $foo : $bar
Plot twist: I need to echo $foo
or echo $bar
. Any crazy tricks? :)

<?=(expression) ? $foo : $bar?>
edit: here's a good read for you on the topic
edit: more to read
echo expression ? $foo : $bar;
The ternary operator evaluates to the value of the second expression if the first one evaluates to TRUE
, and evaluates to the third expression if the first evaluates to FALSE
. To echo
one value or the other, just pass the ternary expression to the echo
statement.
echo expression ? $foo : $bar;
