Question

With the code below:

'<ul class="qandaul"><li>'.htmlspecialchars( is_array( $arrImageFile[$key] ) ? implode(",", $arrImageFile[$key]) : $arrImageFile[$key] ) ). '</li></ul>'

When I go on the view page source, it highlights in red </li></ul>, the reason it does this is because it it not displaying the <ul><li> start tags to associate with them. My question is with code above, where am I suppsoe to place the <ul><li> tags so that it shows up in view source meaning I know the tags are placed in the correct posistion?

UPDATE:

Below is the generated HTML from view source:

<td width="11%" class="imagetd">&nbsp;</li></ul></td>

Below is the php/html code in full:

echo '<td width="11%" class="imagetd">'. ( ( empty ($arrImageFile[$key]) ) ? "&nbsp;" : '<ul class="qandaul"><li>'.htmlspecialchars( is_array( $arrImageFile[$key] ) ? implode(",", $arrImageFile[$key]) : $arrImageFile[$key] ) ). '</li></ul></td>' . PHP_EOL;

Answer 1

Some of your parentheses fall short somewhere, but it’s just easier to rewrite it like this; not everything should be a one-liner after all and especially nested ternary operators:

echo '<td width="11%" class="imagetd">';
if (empty($arrImageFile[$key])) {
    echo '&nbsp;';
} else {
    echo '<ul class="qandaul"><li>';
    echo htmlspecialchars(is_array($arrImageFile[$key]) ? implode(",", $arrImageFile[$key]) : $arrImageFile[$key]);
    echo '</li></ul>';
}
echo '</td>';
