The output is not there where it should be, but a few liens above. I don't get any errors. Reproduce code: --------------- function foo() { echo "foo"; } ... while($obj = mysql_fetch_object($result)){ echo ($obj->id == $id ? "<td>".foo()."</td>" : "<td>haha</td>"); } Expected result: ---------------- that the output is where it should be. i'm listing rows and only in one row ($obj->id == $id) is true. the output of foo can be found dozens of lines above from where it should be. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25459&edit=1
