Well, first of you need a few <?php ?> tags to make this legal: if ($row["number"]==1) { ?> <tr> <td> File 1</td> <td>This is the file</td> <td>Delete</td> </tr> <?php }else{ ?> <tr> <td>File1</td> <td></td> <td>Add</td> </tr> <?php } } Of course, some people frown on this and prefer other techniques such as echo-ing the HTML, or assembling it into a variable which gets echoed at the end -- but whatever floats your boat...!!
