Closing ?> in an IF-statement

[Anon]

Hi there,

I once was using this code for my PHP-based site:

<?
if ($foo) {
?>

A large amount of HTML code here.

<?
}
?>

And it worked fine. But since a few weeks, the server where this script was located upgraded PHP 3 to PHP 4. Since that time, this function doesn't work anymore. Has it been disabled in PHP 4? And is there a better way to do this, except using "echo" of "printf" a thousand times 🙂 ?

you should include the html code into an "echo" statement.

kind of: echo "all html code here" .. but you have to take care to put - \" - instead of simple - " - or else the php engine will take the first single - " - as the end of the echo statement.

it's not so efficient but ... good luck ...
