[RESOLVED] Easy string/variable operators

Hey!

Is there any way in php, to easily write this script shorter?

Code:

---

if(isset($row["name"])) {
$row_name = "-";
} else {
$row_name = $row['name'];
}

echo "the name is $row_name;

---

I am thinking possibly something like this:

Code:

---

echo "the name is " . ?isset($row['name']) row['name'] | "-";

---

So..

Always echo "the name is ", but ? (if) isset($row['name']) then echo row['name'] | (ELSE) echo "-";

Any ideas?

Cheers,

... A little newbie question ...

Try:

PHP Code:

---

echo "the name is " . isset($row['name']) ? row['name'] : "-"; 


---

Thanks a lot! :D
It works perfectly!
And didn't need to wait more than 10 minutes!

Thanks again!

Cheers,
