using iif statements

[AN-net]

can someone explain to me how to use these? can they used to check if a value is false or true and if true display something?

Syntax:

PHP Code:

if (condition is met)
{
do this
}
// Below is optional.
else if(another condition is met)
{
do this
}
else
{
do this
} 


Conditions are boolean expressions, evaluated under true or false.

For example:

if ($bbuserinfo['username'] == 'some_dude')
{
echo "Hey some_dude!";
}

Check out www.php.net for more information.

PHP Code:

$variable = iif($expression, $truevalue, $falsevalue); 


so

PHP Code:

$i = 1;
echo iif($i == 1, "i is one", "i is not one"); 


It is exactly the same as the built-in PHP ternary operator, and exactly the same in C, C++, and Java:

PHP Code:

$i = 1;
echo ($i == 1 ? "i is one" : "i is not one");

so you have a true and false value after $blah==whatever?

The format of this phrase

PHP Code:

if ($this == "1") {
$do = $this;
}
else 
{
$do = $that;
} 


is functionally identical to the following in regular PHP

PHP Code:

$do = ($this == "1") ? $this : $that ; 


PHP Code:

$do = iif($this == "1",$this,$that);
