Entire post disappears due to single line within script

PHP

              foreach ($dbPostList as $posts) {
                        echo '
                        	<table class="post">
                            	<tr><td class="userdetails">
                                	<a href="/viewprofile.php?id=' . $posts["memberId"] .'" class="username">' . $posts["memberUsername"] . '</a><br />
                                    <span class="postCount">Posts: ' . $posts["memberPostCount"] . '</a>
                                    >' . ($_SESSION["rank"] >= 2) ? '<a href="/__sys/admin.removePost.php?id=' . $posts["postId"] . '">[Remove Post]</a><br />' : "<br />";
                                    var_dump($posts) . '
                            	</td>
                            	<td class="postdetails">
                                	' . base64_decode($posts["postContent"]) . '
                            	</td></tr>
                            </table>
                        ';
                    }

Shows correct [Remove Post] link and var_dump($posts).
But everything else is gone. If I remove line:
>' . ($_SESSION["rank"] >= 2) ? '<a href="/__sys/admin.removePost.php?id=' . $posts["postId"] . '">[Remove Post]</a><br />' : "<br />"; and fix symantic errors, the table.post shows normally. But with this line there, post just disappears.

What do you get if you do a var_dump on $_SESSION[‘rank’] ? Is what you get what you expect to get?

You are terminating the statement (note the semi-colon).

($_SESSION["rank"] >= 2) ? '<a href="/__sys/admin.removePost.php?id=' . $posts["postId"] . '">[Remove Post]</a><br />' : "<br />";

If you change it to

                        echo '
                        	<table class="post">
                            	<tr><td class="userdetails">
                                	<a href="/viewprofile.php?id=' . $posts["memberId"] .'" class="username">' . $posts["memberUsername"] . '</a><br />
                                    <span class="postCount">Posts: ' . $posts["memberPostCount"] . '</a>
                                    >' . (($_SESSION["rank"] >= 2) ? '<a href="/__sys/admin.removePost.php?id=' . $posts["postId"] . '">[Remove Post]</a><br />' : "<br />") . '
                            	</td>
                            	<td class="postdetails">
                                	' . base64_decode($posts["postContent"]) . '
                            	</td></tr>
                            </table>
                        ';

I believe it will work. Worst case, move that ternary statement outside of your echo and store the link/empty br tag into a variable and reference that variable in the echo statement.

string(1) "3", as expected and wanted.

Yep, pretty much the solution. Thank you.
