[SOLVED] Parse Error

[40esp]

Im getting the: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF in /var/www/jaikobcreate/sw/dev/admin/edit_signup.php on line 155 Error.

 

Line 155 is:

<?php $check_if = if(strstr($is_subscribed, "[$key]")) { "checked=\"checked\""; } ?>

 

Here is the whole chunk of code:

<?php
$is_subscribed = $row_email_record['practice_groups'];
$check_if = if(strstr($is_subscribed, "[$key]")) { "checked=\"checked\""; }
foreach($newsletter as $key=>$title)
{
  echo "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"select\" id=\"select\" value=\"$key\"".$check_if."/>";
}
?>

 

What did I miss?

You can't assign a variable the output of an "if" block. You probably want to have something like this

<?php
$check_if = (strstr($is_subscribed, "[$key]"))?'checked="checked"':'';
?>

Thanks =]

The problem now, it isn't echoing my html right.

 

<?php echo "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"select\" id=\"select\" value=\"$key\"".if(strstr($is_subscribed, "[$key]")) {echo "checked=\"checked\"";}."/>"; ?>

 

it just echoes checked=checked instead of a checkbox...

Why do you have the "if" statement embedded in the echo? You can't do that. Just use the previously defined variable.
