Hi I am trying to use the ternary operator inside heredoc string to select the bgcolor based on the flag value, but it does not seem to work. $summary=<<<STR <table width=100%> <tr> <td bgcolor={$reqstat ? green : red;}>$reqno</td> </tr> </table> STR; I looked up php documentation but could not find any details. What would be an optimal way to write the code for the above situation ? thanks Dev. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
