Note Submitter: mido_alone2001 at yahoo dot com ---- Hello , when you going to make a script , you must try easist way to do and fastest way to parse .. using alternative-syntax is very useful to shorten your code e.g : If you want to do : <?php $a=1 ; if ($a=1) { echo "<table border=1><tr><td>$a is equal to one </td></tr></table> " ; } ?> You can do it using alternative-syntax as following : <?php $a=1 ; if ($a=1) :?> <table border=1><tr><td><?echo $a ;?> &nbsp;is equal to one </td></tr></table> <?php endif ; ?> So the HTML code Won't excuted until the condition is true
