Is it not possible to implement the condition into the html ?

No, you will have to break up your heredoc quote into 2 or more sections. You cannot have PHP code in the middle of it, just as you cannot have PHP code within a double- or single-quoted string.

$string .= <<<EOD
some text here
some more text
EOD;
if(something is true)
{
   $string .= "some conditional text";
}
$string .= <<<EOD
the rest of the text
the end
EOD;

thanks for the reply,
the problem is the condition was in the middle of the loop and output as row record to the data table, i couldn't break up the heredoc and join again.
i try to put the condition inside the loop and before the heredoc as below,

		if ($pictureid == 0){
		  $picturecode = "";
		 }
		 else {
		  $picturecode = "<a href="display2.php?id=$pictureid"><img src="bphoto/thumbv_$pictureid.jpg" width="35" height="25"></a> ";
		 }  

	    $Dive_list_fields .=<<<__HTML_END
<tr>
<td align = "center" width = 110 style=$colornb>
<a href="disgraph.php?id=$diverid2">$divemd</a>   

</td>
<td align = "center" width = 110 style=$colornb>
$diveduration   

</td>

<td align = "center" width = 120 style=$colornb>
$date 
</td>
<td width = 170 style=$colornb>
&nbsp;&nbsp;$divername 
</td>
<td width = 130 style=$colornb>
&nbsp;&nbsp;$location
</td>
<td align = "center" width = 70 style=$colornb>
<a href="disgraph.php?id=$diverid2"><img src="divelogo.JPG" width="35" height="25"></a>
</td>
<td align = "center" width = 140 style=$colornb>
$picturecode
</td>
<td align = "center" width = 70 style=$colornb>
$picturecode 
</td>
<td align = "center" width = 70 style=$colornb>
$divehits
</td>
</tr>

__HTML_END;

try to store the whole sentence of condition on poping the image to a variable of $picturecode , but i stil do not have luck on that.

do you have any solution for me?
many appreciate for any of solutions. thank youl
