    I'm not use with ? : etc coding with PHP, i barely know how it's called, I'd like to know as well, but most of all trying to find what's wrong in my code.

    Basically all i want is swap the css ID if the page is index.php or not

    I appreciate any help ;)

    echo '

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

<title>Manele &raquo; cauta si downloadeaza manele doar la manele.me</title>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/style.css" type="text/css" />

</head>

<body>

	<div id="content">

        <h1 class="normal">manele.me &raquo; locul de unde poti downloada manele gratis</h1>

    	[COLOR=RED][B]<a href="#"><div id="'. ($GLOBALS['pagename']="index.php") ? 'header' : 'header-permalink' .'">Manele.me</div></a>[/B][/COLOR]

		';
    Code (markup):
    I get the following error:

    Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/manele/public_html/header.php on line 27

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '"' in /home/manele/public_html/header.php on line 27

    It's called ternary operator. And use commas to "split" the string, instead of the periods. Or wrap the whole ternary operation into parenthesis.

    On anther note... you have to use 2 equal signs for comparisons. One will assign the variable.
