<?php echo '<tr $class = ($important == 1) ? 'mainrow1' : 'mainrow';  class="\$class"\>

Your code doesn't make much sense I'm afraid... Something like this?

 

<?php echo '<tr class = "'.(($important == 1) ? 'mainrow1' : 'mainrow'). '">'; ?>

try like this

<?php

 

$class = ($important == 1) ? 'mainrow1' : 'mainrow';

echo '<tr  class="$class" >';

 

?>

<?php echo '<a href=\"index.php?page=message&forum=$forum;&id="'.$getthreads3['postid'].'"">"'.$getthreads3['title'].'"</a>?>

count the '"' (double quotes)

If you want to expand variables in strings, you need to use double quotes.

 

See this:

$var = "Hello!";
echo 'Single quoted $var';
echo "Double quoted $var"

;

 

and for arrays you need {}

 

$arr = array('Hello!');
echo "Double quoted array {$arr[0]}";
