echo problem

[Jeremias]

This

echo "<form action=\"<?php print $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>\">";

or this

echo "<form action="<?php print $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">";

doesn't work. Can somebody explain me how I should work around it or give me the url of a webpage where it's explained.

Thx Jeremias

hey, you can't echo php commands and have them work as far as I know, so do this:

echo "<form action=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."\">";

The story continues, I want to print the following

echo "<INPUT type=\"text\" name=\"diplom\"  value=\"echo $record["Email"]\">"

but I get an error.

It would be good to take time off the read the PHP manual on the basics.

Take a look at the entry for [man]echo/man, for example.

Offhand, I can give 6 different lines that output the same thing, that you want:

echo "<INPUT type=\"text\" name=\"diplom\"  value=\"" . $record["Email"] . "\">";
echo "<INPUT type=\"text\" name=\"diplom\"  value=\"" . $record['Email'] . "\">";
echo "<INPUT type=\"text\" name=\"diplom\"  value=\"{$record["Email"]}"\">";
echo "<INPUT type=\"text\" name=\"diplom\"  value=\"{$record['Email']}"\">";
echo '<INPUT type="text" name="diplom"  value="' . $record["Email"] . '">';
echo '<INPUT type="text" name="diplom"  value="' . $record['Email'] . '">';

You have to look up on strings and arrays to understand.
