[FX.php List] Record Count after the fact

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Thanks very much to Andy Guant who contacted me back channel to 
clarify his suggestion.  Andy was suggesting writing the html out to 
variable in the first loop and then displaying the resulting html 
once the record count was determined.

I think that that is brilliant...except that I am having trouble with 
this age-old problem: combing php and html.  Specifically, dealing 
with an If statement inside the html I am trying to build in the 
variable.  Could use some help.

The following doesn't come close to working.  The essence is how to 
deal with html..php if..html transition.

Also, do I have the right syntax for adding the latest value of 
$temphtml by using $temphtml = .'......

<?
$temphtml ='';	//set my variable for collecting the html
foreach($searchResult['data'] as $key => $value) {
$temphtml = $temphtml.'
<tr><td>blah</td></tr>
  <tr><td>'. if(empty($value['flag'][0] ))  { echo 
"$".$value['price'][0]; }else{ echo "Call"; }
<tr><td>blah</td></tr>'
}
?>


Thanx jonathan
