[SOLVED] simple if statement inside echo not working

[scarhand]

i have this code:

 

<?php
echo '<td class="' . ($page_title1 == 'Home') ? 'menutab2' : 'menutab1' . '"><a href="/"><span><span>Home</span></span></a></td>';
?>

 

i want it to echo "menutab#" depeding on if the $page_title1 variable is 'Home' or not.

 

when i look at the source code, it is only echoing "menutab2", instead of "<td class="menutab2"><a href="/"><span><span>Home</span></span></a></td>" like it should

 

im sure its simple, help?

Try this:

 

<?php
echo '<td class="' . ($page_title1 == 'Home' ? 'menutab2' : 'menutab1') . '"><a href="/"><span><span>Home</span></span></a></td>';
?>

 

The problem was with the brackets.

Thanks, i ended up going this route though:

 

<?php
  echo '<td class="';
  echo ($page_title1 == 'Home') ? 'menutab2' : 'menutab1';
  echo '"><a href="/"><span><span>Home</span></span></a></td>';
?>
