Fwd: Cannot get conditional statement to work

All, I apologize if this question is overly simplistic. I'm trying to write a conditional statement that I just cannot get to work. The statement reads: (preg_match($strPattern, $strSource)) ? echo 'Match Found.' : echo 'No match.'; Each and every time I go to the page containing this statement I receive a parsing error with the message "unexpected T_ECHO". If I rewrite the statement to read: if (preg_match($strFilter, $strValue)) echo 'A match was found!'; else echo 'Not found!'; I have no issue. However, its really ticking me off that I cannot get it to work the first way. I am using PHP Regards, Adam Platform versions: PHP 4.3.0, Apache 1.3, and Mac OS X 10.2.6
