IF Statement

[jbachris]

I have the following code, it's not working. What the goal is to allow the client to either add a news story to display on the site from the database or to add a news story to an external source. I can handle the first part and the second part, but trying to combine them is giving me fits...

<?
	// Loop through the player recordset outputting a row of the table for each player with a link to the player page
	while ( ! $news_rs->EOF ) {
		$headline = $news_rs->Fields("news_headline");
		$CID = $news_rs->Fields("CID");
		$url = $news_rs->Fields("news_url");
		$external = $news_rs->Fields("news_external");
		$date = date ( "F d, Y", $rumor_rs->Fields("news_date") );
?>
<? 
	if ( $news->Fields("external") == 0 ) { 
    	print "<a href=\"story.php?CID=<?=($CID)?>\"><?=($headline)?></a>"
		}    

		else {
		print " - <a href=\"<?=($url)?>\"><?=($headline)?></a>"
		} 
?>
<?
				$news_rs->MoveNext();
				}
				?>

Right now it's getting an error, "Unexpected } in line 28." Line 28 is directly above "else {".

Thanks for any help!

the error is probably because you are missing your closing ; at the end of each print statement.

<?
  if ( $news->Fields("external") == 0 ) {
    print "<a href=\"story.php?CID=<?=($CID)?>\"><?=($headline)?></a>"; 
  }
  else {
    print " - <a href=\"<?=($url)?>\"><?=($headline)?></a>";
  }  

?>
