The inline if statement in the option tag is not properly formatted. It should be enclosed in parentheses and followed by a question mark and the value if true, then a colon and the value if false. Here's the corrected code:

<label for="status">Game Status</label>
<form method="POST" action="guessgame.php">
    <select name="status" id="status">
        <option value="<?php echo $values['status'] == '' ? 'ACTIVATE' : $values['status']; ?>">Active</option> 
        <option value="<?php echo $values['status'] == '' ? 'DISABLE' : $values['status']; ?>">Disable</option>
    </select>
    <input type="submit" name="gamestatus" value="Submit"> 
</form>
