Best Syntax

[unemployment]

What is the best syntax for this? I don't even know if the last part of this works.

$data[0][$k]['message'] = 'You have successfully joined <a href="../c/'.$r['companytag'].'">'.$r['feedfirstname'].'</a> in '.industry($r['industry']).' at '.stage($r['stage']).' stage'.if (empty($otherfans)){"."};

Well, have you tried if it works?

That all looks fine except for the last part. You cannot use an if statement like that.

Yeah, the last part fails. Do you know how to properly write this?

You would just do

$string = 'my string';

if ( empty($otherfans) ) { $string .= '.'; }

obviously replacing 'my string' with what you put in the first post.
