[Resolved] Continue Code in the Next line

[tommynanda]

Hi!
I guess this is an idiotic Q but.... I have a statment which is too big if i want to continue in the next line like give a carriage return wat should I do ... I mean suppose

echo "jkhsd lskdhf sdlkfjl asdflksajdflksdj flsdkjf asldkjfas ldkfjasldkjf lksjdf";

TO

echo "alksdhflkasdjflaksdjf ;ksdj alsdkfj asdlkfj
ksjdfhjksadhf sdlkfhs";

like we use ... in VB

Thanks.

you could do this:

$statement .= "first string<br>";
$statement .= "second string<br>";
$statement .= "and so on...";

echo $statement ;

or this

echo "first string<br>";
echo "second string<br>";
echo "and so on...";

this will print out the following:

first string
second string
and so on...

hope this helps?

Your second echo statement is just fine. PHP looks for the next semi-colon and considers that a new line.

oh yeah thats right.

I wasnt sure if you were talking about html output, or just making your code easier to read so I tried to cover all of it
