PHP - Concatenate if statement?

Question

I want to concatenate in the middle of an echo to write an if statement, is this possible? Here is what I have.

echo "<li class='".if ($_GET["p"] == "home") { echo "active"; }."'><a href='#'>Home</a>        </li>";

Answer 1

Like this, using the ternary operator:

echo "<li class='". (($_GET["p"] == "home") ? "active" : "") . "'><a href='#'>Home</a>        </li>";
