   Hiya. I'm using this to get my last comments. I'm trying to add a bit of code so there will only be a "..." after the comment body if the comment isn't shown in its entirety. This is what I'm using:

   ". if ($comment->com_excerpt >85) { echo "..."; } else { echo ""; } ."

   which returns "unexpected T_IF". I'm no PHP expert, just learning all this stuff, but I assume this means it doesn't like the if? Any ideas how to make this work?

   Thanks.

   Does this work?
   

   $output .= "\n<li>".strip_tags($comment->comment_author)
   .":" . "<a href=\"" . get_permalink($comment->ID) .
   "#comment-" . $comment->comment_ID . "\" title=\"on " .
   $comment->post_title . "\">" . strip_tags($comment->com_excerpt);
   if ($comment->com_excerpt >85) {$output .= "..."; };
   $output .="</a></li>";

   Nope, it didn't work but thank you. get the same error. It really doesn't seem to like the "if". Sigh.
