It may be worth adding that we can nest ternary operators.

It begins to get truly messy when you do this, and that's really when you should begin considering an if statement instead.

However:

php Code:

$szGender = 'M';
//$szGender = 'F';
//$szGender = '';

printf
(
    'Gender: %s',
    (
        !$szGender  ? 'Unknown'
                    : ($szGender == 'M'
                    ? 'Male'
                    : 'Female')
    )
);
