PHP - what's wrong with this piece of code? -
<? function foo($return = false) { $x = '12345'; $return ? return $x : // here fails echo $x; } echo foo(true); ?>
it says "parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'return' (t_return) in..."
why!? :)
you can't use inline ifs in way. used this:
echo ($return ? x : "false");
your code should this:
<? function foo($return = false) { $x = '12345'; if($return) { return $x } else { echo $x; } } echo foo(true); ?>
(more confusing some), don't need add else
statement, if if
statement satisfied, return value, exiting function, means if if
statement not satisfied, go echo
anyway:
<? function foo($return = false) { $x = '12345'; if($return) { return $x } echo $x; } echo foo(true); ?>
