echo html in php

[fife]

I have written this code but im not used to echoing html in php so I have errors.

echo " <option value= '{$county['county']}'" if ($User['county'])==$county['county']) {echo "selected";}  echo">{$county['county']}</option>";
}

 

 

the server error is;

 

 

syntax error, unexpected T_IF, expecting ',' or ';'

 

Can somebody please point out how I have written it wrong?
