Thats all, Note am running the app with PHP 5.3.5 using CakePHP MVC Framework

Answer 1

Change it from
<?php echo $html->link(ife(
'$post['Post']['published'] == 1',
'Published',
'Unpublished'),
'/posts/'.ife('$post'['Post']['published'] == 1',
'disabled','enable').'/'.$post['Post']['id']
);
?>
to
<?php echo $html->link(ife(
$post['Post']['published'] == 1',
'Published',
'Unpublished),
'/posts/'.ife($post['Post']['published'] == 1',
'disabled','enable).'/'.$post['Post']['id']
);
?>
You just needed to remove the single quote right before $post

Answer 2

Try and make it a bit more readable:
$isPublished = ($post['Post']['published'] == 1) ? true : false;
echo $html->link(
ife($isPublished, 'Published','Unpublished'),
'/posts/' . ife($isPublished, 'disabled', 'enable') . '/' . $post['Post']['id']
);

Answer 3

$post['Post']['published'] == '1',

Answer 4

This works for me... You had an old style php tag and had single quotes in the wrong spots.
I'm not sure what "ife" is, most likely an if statement gone wrong ?
