PHP: simple logic statement

I'm tired of searching for the correct syntax everytime I wan to use this line… if you're doing a simple one line "if" statement, you can use a "ternary conditional operator" - for example:

echo $variable == 'value' ? 'print if true' : 'print if false';

Ah, the ternary operator. Just remember this. The question mark comes after the item in question — Is __ true ? Yes : No;

It's the only way I can remember it

Don't you need parentheses around the condition? Or they optional in PHP?
