Printing lot's of HTML

Anon

Hi, I am making a webpage with multiple pages that need checks to see if someone is hotlinking it to someone else. If they are not logged in, they shouldn't be able to view the page. The way I'm doing it now is an if(auth=yes) then print html.

That problem is that I have a lot of html and a lot of pages. Is there a better way to do this or is there a better way to print all the html out instead of using a bunch of \" or \' .... it's a pain.

Don't embed your HTML in the PHP

instead of this ..

<?
echo "<HEAD>";
some code here;
echo "<TITLE>title</TITLE>";
some more code;
?>

do this ...

<HEAD>
<?
some code here;
?>
<TITLE>title</TITLE>
<?
some more code;
?>

nm found out how ....

print <<< EOF

HTML STUFF

EOF

works great.

nm ..... that doesn't work.

yes it does but there isn't any good info around on how to make it work well.

from what I found searching through all the old posts and a few others sites the format should be

echo <<< EOF
blah di blah
stuff here
Someone says "I like php"
this var has a value of $var

EOF;

things to watch are taht you don't escape things and that you have the term string (EOF) at the left margin do not indent it. also you need a ; after the term string.

I use this because it's cleaner then any other way I've found.

Check out heredoc documentation in the manual.
