HTML form font

Carl_K

Hello, I'm trying to create a weblog using php. The code uses a HTML form for which the default font is Times. I want to change this to Ariel but when I add the tag I get a Parse error message when the page opens. Can anyone help with this please?

The code I'm using is:

print "
<html>
<head>
<title>New blog entry</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Ecclesia Student Blogs<br>
<h1>Post your new blog entry</h1>
<form method=post action=\"$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]\">
<p><strong>Your E-Mail Address:</strong><br>
<input type=\"text\" name=\"blogpost_owner\" size=40 maxlength=150>

   <P><strong>Post Text:</strong><br>
   <textarea name=\"blogpost_text\" rows=8 cols=40 wrap=virtual></textarea>

   <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"op\" value=\"addpost\">
   <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"blogtopic_id\" value=\"$blogtopic_id\">

   <P><input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"Add Entry\"></p>

   </form>
   </body>
   </html>";

}

Paste what the error is, does that block come inside a function, or if statement, as there's that brace dangling at the bottom.

Also use heredoc syntax (do a search) for massive evil blocks of html to avoid having to do \" all the time - for your code

echo <<< EOF
<html>
<head>
<title>New blog entry</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Ecclesia Student Blogs<br>
<h1>Post your new blog entry</h1>
<form method=post action="$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]">
<p><strong>Your E-Mail Address:</strong><br>
<input type="text" name="blogpost_owner" size=40 maxlength=150>

<P><strong>Post Text:</strong><br>
<textarea name="blogpost_text" rows=8 cols=40 wrap=virtual></textarea>

<input type="hidden" name="op" value="addpost">
<input type="hidden" name="blogtopic_id" value="$blogtopic_id">

<P><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add Entry"></p>

</form>
</body>
</html>
EOF

That EOF must be on a line on its own with nothing before it, doesn't have to be EOF, can be anything as long as it matches the opening <<< WHATEVER

Thanks, it seems to be working now.
