How to place it right?

Answer 1

That line would be like this:

$open_container = '<div class="container"><div class="banner-shortcode">'. (function_exists('adinserter') ? adinserter(17) : '') .'</div>';

What I did is, I used the ternary operator to check whether function_exists('adinserter') is returning a true. If true, it would call the adinserter(17) function, which would return a string (maybe html I don't know) and this is being appended to the string in $open_container variable. Otherwise (if false), an empty string is appended.

Hope you got the idea

Answer 2

You seem to be missing curly brackets
