assign variables with ?> <?php

[hiasl]

Hi,

I just tried to assign variables the following way:

$table = '?>

<b>Hello World!</b>

<?php ';

The advantage of assigning a variable that way is, e.g. if you use dreamweaver, you can modify the content with your wyswig tool, though it's assigned to a variable.

Does anybody know if this is possible (that way it doesn't work, maybe some other ideas).

Thanks,
Matthias

No, it's not. You're echoing out by breaking out of php.

Use templates and you'll not need to worry about this problem at all.
