Possible To Put An If Statement Inside A Variable?

Ok, so I'm using the include() function on my website. Problem is I'm trying to include a search engine form into the layout which is stored in a variable, except the form has an if statement in it and I can't seem to get it working. Here's the code I'm trying to include...


CODE

<form method=POST action=search.php>
<p>Search:<br>
<input type=text name=search size=20 class=textbox size=15 value=
<?if (isset($_POST['search'])){ echo $_POST['search']; } ?>
><input type=submit value=Submit>
</form>




Just wondering if it is possible for me to put this form with the if statement into a variable, or if there's another way that I could go about doing this. Thanks.

try:
CODE
<form method=POST action=search.php>[/br]<p>Search:<br>[br]<input type=text name=search size=20 class=textbox size=15 value= [/br]<? if (isset($_POST['search'])){ echo $_POST['search']; } ?>[br]><input type=submit value=Submit>[/br]</form>[br]

or[br]
CODE
<form method=POST action=search.php>[/br]<p>Search:<br>[br]<input type=text name=search size=20 class=textbox size=15 value= [/br]<?php if (isset($_POST['search'])){ echo $_POST['search']; } ?>[br]><input type=submit value=Submit>[/br]</form>

To increase the "readability" of the code I would do it like :

<form method=POST action=search.php>
<p>Search:<br>
<?php
echo "<input type=text name=search size=20 class=textbox size=15 value=".$_POST['search'].">";
?>
<input type=submit value=Submit>
</form>

You actually dont have to take the test isset for this. It is only useful for SQL queries that would generate an error if they get blank parameters

    There are single and double quotes scattered throughout this line of html and it is driving me nuts
    attempting to manage the output. So far, the only way I can get it to work is to break the

    data from a user for First name, Last name, email address, and message-body named

    decided I need a script which can determine whether or not "http://" is in a variable or a string.
    The problem with using strings is that I've never needed to use them before (and thus have no
    knowledge about them). When I was using asp, I knew there was a function called instr() but I
    can't find php's equivalent. Does anybody know? Thanks in advance!....
