Can anyone explain what this line of code means? I don't know much of php at all, but I need to be able to read this.

<?= !empty($val['code_id']) ? $val['code_id'] : '-' ?>

I know that using a ? and : is short hand for if/then, but I don't know what the <?= ?> means.

I couldn't find anything on Google that was helpful.

Okay, I figured it out. I couldn't find anything on Google because I didn't even know what to search. – Andrea Aug 04 '16 at 14:20
it will echo $val['code_id'] if it is not null else it will echo '-' – Rijin Aug 04 '16 at 14:22
