RE: [PHP] Better way (if...elseif...else)

[Grimes, Dean]

$fcol = ($priority == "000") ? "high" : (($prioridy == "050") ? "med" :
"low");
$pstr .= sprintf(       "<option value=\"000\" %s>High\n".
                        "<option value=\"050\" %s>Medium\n".
                        "<option value=\"100\" %s>Low\n",
                        ($priority == "000") ? "selected" : "",
                        ($priority == "050") ? "selected" : "",
                        ($priority == "100") ? "selected" : "");



That should do the trick!!

    Is there a better way to write the following snippet:

    if ($priority == "000") {
      $fcol="high";
      $pstr .= "<option value=\"000\" selected>High\n";
      $pstr .= "<option value=\"050\">Medium\n";
      $pstr .= "<option value=\"100\">Low\n";
    } elseif ($priority == "050") {
      $fcol="med";
      $pstr .= "<option value=\"000\">High\n";
      $pstr .= "<option value=\"050\" selected>Medium\n";
      $pstr .= "<option value=\"100\">Low\n";
    } else {
      $fcol="low";
      $pstr .= "<option value=\"000\">High\n";
      $pstr .= "<option value=\"050\">Medium\n";
      $pstr .= "<option value=\"100\" selected>Low\n";
    }

    I just hate having to repeat pieces of code.  This piece here just
generates a drop down list of items, with the current one being the
selected one.
