Im looking to echo a div style and shortcode together. I can do it separately by
<?php if ( is_singular() ) { echo '<div class="own">' } else ; ?>
<?php if ( is_singular() ) { echo do_shortcode('[xxx]'); } else ; ?>
<?php if ( is_singular() ) { echo '</div>' } else ; ?>
but is there a cleaner way to do it?
hmm... combine into a single if-statement?
<?php
if ( is_singular() )
{
echo '<div class="own">', do_shortcode('[xxx]'), '</div>';
}
?>
Yep:
<?php if ( is_singular() ) { echo '<div class="own">' , do_shortcode('[xxx]') , '</div>' };?>
echo + you do not need to concatenate strings - using multiple echo parameters is slightly more efficient.Use the ternary operator. It may not be easier to read, however, but it is shorter and cleaner if you can read it properly.
<?=( is_singular() )?'<div class="own">':''?>
This is kind of like an echo-and-an-if-statement in one. It is an if-else statement only, no else ifs.
<?= is shorthand for a one line echo. You do not need a semicolon at the end of your statement, just the close tags.
The brackets show the if statement, and in this case, if it's true, the statement after the ? will echo the div, if it fails or is false, it will echo nothing.
.you mean?
