No more iff() ?

[Logikos]

I need to add quite a few conditions to a query of mine and it seems that 3.5 no longer uses the iff() function? Was this taken out completly or just replaced? I'm searching the /includes/functions.php file now for answer. Thanks guys.

Well i searched the functions.php file and and of course on line 57 it's there. Sorry for the useless post. Need to search before i open my big texteditor next time.

iif() is now deprecated.
Use ($condition) ? $texttrue : $textfalse instead.

Hey KirbyDE, from the looks of the function, they didn't change anything. At least i don't see a change when i compair the function from 3.0.7 to 3.5.0.

iif() is just a shortcut for the ternery operator

the ? : operator is default in php, the iif was never really needed, so they might have decide to don't use it anymore then

Yeah, who needs iif at all? They probably did not know about this operator when they wrote vb2.x

iff() is what happens when a Visual Basic Programmer moves to a C-syntax based language.

Hehe
/me happy that I never used VB much.

nice explanation, never thought of that ^^
