[Resolved] formating problem

[vinny199]

Hi,

I need to echo a full table with code & html as follow:

<?php if (isset($POST['Submit']) && $POST['Submit'] == 'Vote')
{
// echo the results of the poll
echo ' <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1">
<tr>
<td colspan="2">current vote result for this pic</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>hot</td>
<td> DoFormatNumber($number2, 2, '.', '');
%</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>not hot</td>
<td> DoFormatNumber($numbera2, 2, '.', '');

&nbsp;%</td>
</tr>
</table>

                  </td>
                </tr>
                <tr><td>';

}
else
{ etc...

The problem is in my first part,
DoFormatNumber is a function i created to display $number and $numbera with two decimal.

all works well when i display the table as html, but when i include it in an echo' I get a parse error , expecting ' or etc...

How am i supposed to write DoFormatNumber($numbera2, 2, '.', ''); so it is echo properly?

am i missing ()'' []?

thanks,

vinny

You need to concatenate the function to the echo like this...

<?php if (isset($_POST['Submit']) && $_POST['Submit'] == 'Vote') 
{ 
// echo the results of the poll 
echo ' <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1"> 
<tr> 
<td colspan="2">current vote result for this pic</td> 
</tr> 
<tr> 
<td>hot</td> 
<td>'. DoFormatNumber($number2, 2, '.', '') .'%</td> 
</tr> 
<tr> 
<td>not hot</td> 
<td>'. DoFormatNumber($numbera2, 2, '.', '') .'%</td> 
</tr> 
</table> 

</td> 
</tr> 
<tr><td>'; 
} 
else 
{ etc... 

Notice that I don't use a semicolon after the call to DoFormatNumber().
