It's a shortened version of the if...else construct. As in...
condition ? this_if_true : this_if_false

and colon's (:), mean and do?
That's the ternary comparison operator. See
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.comparison.php,
The ? in this senario is called the ternary operator
basically shorthand for an if/else statement e.g
$theValue = ($theValue != ) ? ' . $theValue . ' :NULL;
is the equivalent of
if($theValue != ) {
$theValue =$theValue ;
}
else{
$theValue =NULL;
}
