Sorry all, It's ok. The sintax: <?php echo (isset($erros['anexo']) ? '<div class="mensagemErro">'.$erros['anexo'].'</div>' :''); ?> Was right all the time. Anyway, I've learn something new: having a var with '' is not the same thing as not been unset. So we must pay attention on what cases we use isset, or !empty. Thanks a lot, Márcio

Hello all, I'm trying to display a div, only when some php value is set. Since this will be near html, I'd like to keep it on one line. So, I'd love to use shortcuts and a ternary operator for the effect. I'm having something like this right now, but the div still appears even if the error is NOT set. <?= (isset($erros['anexo'])) ? '<div class="mensagemErro">' .$erros['anexo'].'</div>' :''; ?> :( Can I have your help with the right syntax ?

Another one to consider... strlen ($item) > 0 ? 'not empty' : 'empty'; Because "empty()" will return true if 0 is the value, sometimes you have to check for the length of the item. ~Philip
