Your first mistake I'm finding is the use of quotes. You started the print
with a ", which means the print ends at name=", and it's expecting more PHP
code, rather than a HTML string. The first fix would be to either escape all
quotes in the HTML with a slash (\) before it, or to change your opening and
closing quotes on the print to a single quote (').
Second, yes, you cannot enclose PHP tags inside PHP tags. To do this,
change that portion to end the print, attach the two portions with a period
(.) and start up with the php function, then a period, and back to the
print.
Here's a fix that should work. I haven't tested it though, so I may have
missed one or two quotes.
<?php if ($emp_row->getField('testfield') !="") {
print "<form name=\"edit\" method=\"post\"
action=\"emp_edit_result2.php\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"Status\" value=\"Active\"/>
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"The_Date\" value=\"\"/>
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"-recid\" value=\""$emp_row->getRecordId()."\">
<input type=\"submit\" name=\"edit_submit\" value=\"Activate\">
</form>
";}else {print "Non Print";} ?>
