Using the ? Operator

 
The ?, or ternary, operator returns a value derived from one of two expressions separated by a colon. 

(expression) ?returned_if_expression_is_true:returned_if_expression_is_false;

If the test expression evaluates to true, the result of the second expression is returned; 
otherwise, the value of the third expression is returned.

<body>
<div>
<?php
    $satisfied = "no";
    
    $pleased = "very";
    $sorry = "sorry";
    
    $text = ( $satisfied=="very" )?$pleased:$sorry;
    print "$text";
?>
</div>
