How to use <if gids in .php

[1master1]

I would like to use <if gid> statements in .php files and i know its not possible and we can only use if(cond) { }

This is the code in .php file

Code:

1 2 3 4 5 6

$ontoday=<<<HERE <td class="trow1"><a href="/forum/online.php?action=today" target="_blank"><img src="./images/oll.png" title="" class="statistics" style="float:left; height:38px; margin-right:5px; padding:8px; width:38px;"/></a> <span class="smalltext">{$who_online}</span><br />$onToday </td> </tr> HERE;

---

I want to hide <a href="/forum/online.php?action=today" target="_blank"> for certain gids, and i tried to use <if gid> as we see other tags are also the same mostly like <td class="">
But its showing error. Any help pls?
