Stacking Multiple Ternary Operators in PHP

This is what I wrote :

 $Myprovince = (
($province == 6) ? "city-1" :
($province == 7) ? "city-2" :
($province == 8) ? "city-3" :
($province == 30) ? "city-4" : "out of borders"
);

But for every field I got the value city-4. I want to use ternary operators instead of switch/if because I want to experiment and see how it would be done.

What's the problem with this code?

Solution

  • Others have already suggested the right way of doing it but if you really want to use ternary operator you need to use parenthesis as:

    $province = 7;
 $Myprovince = (
 ($province == 6) ? "city-1" :
  (($province == 7) ? "city-2" :
   (($province == 8) ? "city-3" :
    (($province == 30) ? "city-4" : "out of borders")))
 );
