how to embed html in php

[Manat]

Hi all,

Ive searched on the internet for this very simple thing.
What are the rules for embeding HTML inside a PHP tag?

Like the below:

<?php
if($cboAWQ == "1")
{
echo "<tr>
<td width=\"200\" valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"">AwqListing</td>
<td bgcolor=\""><textarea cols=\"45\" rows=\"10\" name=\"txtAwq\"></textarea></td>
</tr>";
}
?>

What am I doing wrong in the above?
And also, just in general, what are the rules for embedding html in php just for future reference?

Also, is it considered more clean to put the html code in a php variable?

It looks like you are missing your bgcolor in your TD tags (twice). You also did not escape the second quote at the end of where the bgcolor should be (twice). If you still don't get anything, I'd check to make sure you know what the value of $cboAWQ is.

<?php
if($cboAWQ == "1")
{
echo "<tr>
<td width=\"200\" valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"">AwqListing</td>
<td bgcolor=\""><textarea cols=\"45\" rows=\"10\" name=\"txtAwq\"></textarea></td>
</tr>";
}
?>
