Terinary operator in PHP

Fuck me with a stick.

I have this piece of code which pulls words from flatfile databases:

Code:

$sentence = ($type ?
		"$word1[0] $word2[0] $word3[0] $word4[0]" :
		"$word1[0] $word2[0] $word3[0] $word4[0] $word5[0]");

In it's present form, I can only produce two different layouts for word strings, aka sentences. I'd like to be able to offer more layouts, but I can't figure out how to add another line without getting an error. Damn it. It's that fucking colon.
