How do I use the ternary operator ( ? : ) in PHP as a shorthand for “if / else”?

Question

Based on the examples from this page, I have the working and non-working code samples below.

Working code using if statement:

if (!empty         


        

Answer 1

I think you used the brackets the wrong way. Try this:

$test = (empty($address['street2']) ? 'Yes 
' : 'No 
');

I think it should work, you can also use:

echo (empty($address['street2']) ? 'Yes 
' : 'No 
');
