Continuation of Parse problem with a twist

[dcjones]

Hi all and thanks to the guys who gave me help with the first part of my proble,.

Please be kind again I am new'ish to PHP.

The code below works great, BUT how do I make the results display in a page which I have written. I know I need to parse the results into a page but to be honest I don't know how.

The code at present:

<?php

include 'error.inc';
include 'db.inc';

// Start a table, with column headers

echo "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing\"2\">";

Can anyone advice, please

For one thing, you don't need a separate echo statement for every single line of a big block of HTML; that's one of the least efficient ways of doing it.

If you have a block of HTML you want in your page, then the fastest and easiest way to put it in is to

?>
Drop out of PHP mode and just do the HTML as normal, and only go back into PHP mode
<?php
when you need to.

In fact, you're already doing that for the bit of Javascript: do the same thing for the rest. As far as I can tell, the only bit that needs to be in <?php ?> are the two lines at the top

<?php
include 'error.inc'; //Better to name these error.php etc.
include 'db.inc';
?>

With just the occasional step into PHP here and there. E.g.,

<form method="GET" action="<?php echo $host?> "password="<?php echo $password?> "wl_opt="0" name="API Test">

In fact, I think that's all of the PHP in the entire page dealt with.

And for the sake of the people who'll be reading your posts, use &#91PHP] tags around your PHP code so that it's syntax-highlighted, and don't bother with including every single language/character set/document.write() line. Just post the bits that are relevant.
