Can i imbedd HTML into PHP code?

[demonicfoetus]

Hi, i have a redirection javascript and want it to run inside an IF statement of PHP. Is this possible? I keep on getting parse errors if i try to enter it in quotes or not.

Cheers,
DF

You need to put PHP operators within the HTML/Javascript. So an example would be:

HTML/Javascript:
<select name="selectedDB" size="1" onChange="JavaScript:form.submit();">

...should be:

<select name=\"selectedDB\" size=\"1\" onChange=\"JavaScript:form.submit();\">

...when used within PHP.

Wherever you have " within HTML/Javascript, you replace them with \"

The operator switch \ tells the PHP to read the code as non-PHP code, allowing you to write HTML within PHP. Well, that's my understanding of it anyway (more experienced coders feel free to correct me!), and it works 🙂

Woh ! Not explained very well !!!

You can put HTML with PHP 2 ways...

The first :

<?
// Some PHP code...
?>
Some HTML...
<?
// Some PHP code...
?>

The second :
<?
// Some PHP code
echo "Some HTML"; // But you must replace each quote (") by \"
// Some PHP code
?>

There are other manners, but these two are the most used.
