[SOLVED] Could someone help me with this simple IF/ELSE argument

[onewake]

I've got the following code that I'm trying to make into an IF/ELSE argument...can anybody help me out with it?

 

I've tried several things and can't seem to make it work.

 

<li class="<?php if (1 == $comment->user_id) $oddcomment = "authcomment"; echo $oddcomment; ?>" id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
<li class="<?php if (1 != $comment->user_id) $oddcomment = "othrcomment"; echo $oddcomment; ?>" id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">

 

I'm basically trying to make it say, "IF the userID=1, $oddcomment = "authcomment" ELSE $oddcomment = "othrcomment"

I don't get this part: $comment->user_id

<li class="<?php if ($comment->user_id == 1) $oddcomment = "authcomment"; else $oddcomment = "othrcomment"; echo $oddcomment; ?>" id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">

It's for a wordpress blog and I think it's just stating that if the userID=1 (the admin) then to give the subsequent output.  Is that what you meant?

<li class="<?php echo (1 == $comment->user_id) ? 'authcomment' : 'othrcomment' ?>" id="comment-<?php echo comment_ID() ?>">

<li class="<?php ((1 == $comment->user_id) ? echo 'authcomment' : 'othrcomment'); ?>" id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
<li class="<?php ((1 != $comment->user_id) ? echo 'authcomment' : 'othrcomment'); ?>" id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
