Inline elseif in PHP

Is there a way to have a built-in if statement in PHP that also includes elseif?

I would suggest that the logic would look something like this:

$unparsedCalculation = ($calculation > 0) ? "<span style=\"color: #9FE076;\">".$calculation : ($calculation < 0) ? "<span style=\"color: #FF736A;\">".$calculation : $calculation;

elseif- it’s nothing but, else iftherefore, practically no elseif, it’s just convenience. The same convenience is not provided for the ternary operator, since the ternary operator is designed for very short logic.

if ($a) { ... } elseif ($b) { ... } else { ... }

coincides with

if ($a) { ... } else { if ($b) { ... } else { ... } }

Therefore, the triple equivalent

$a ? ( ... ) : ( $b ? ( ... ) : ( ... ) )

you can use nested ternary operator

      (IF ? THEN : ELSE) 
      (IF ? THEN : ELSE(IF ? THEN : ELSE(IF ? THEN : ELSE))

, , , . "elseif",

if (condition) ? (true) : (false> if (condition) ? (true) : (false));

Although you really shouldn't code it this way ... it is confusing in terms of readability. No one is going to look at it and be "sweet, ninja!". they will say "pah, wtf"

Try it,

(($condition_1) ? "output_1" : (($condition_2) ?  "output_2" : "output_3"));

In your case, it will be:

$unparsedCalculation = (($calculation > 0) ? "<span style=\"color: #9FE076;\">".$calculation : (($calculation < 0) ?  "<span style=\"color: #FF736A;\">".$calculation : $calculation));
