ternary operator

[mohamed42]

Here's my code:

isset($row[3]) ? echo ("<comments>".$row[3]."</comments>\n") : echo ("<comments/>\n");

But if I use that instead of:

if(isset($row[3])) {
  echo ("<comments>".$row[3]."</comments>\n");
}
else {
  echo("<comments/>\n");
}

it breaks my script. Gives nothing at all; or if it does, I can't view the source (IE reports that the source XML is unavailable for viewing.)

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for the help!

echo isset($row[3]) ? "<comments>{$row[3]}</comments>\n" : "<comments/>\n";

Cool, thanks.
