[RESOLVED] Display Problem

durahman

I am building a web application.

Each page will call a function that will display the html header for that page. Problem is it will display the tag '?>' before displaying the header.

the function code:

<?php

function do_html_header($title)
{
?>
<html>
<head>
<title><?php echo $title;?></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/mystyle.css">
..........................

<table width="770" border="0">
	<tr>
		<td colspan="2" class="logo"><img src="images/epheader2.gif"></td>
	</tr>

</table>

<?php
}
?>

The calling page:

<?php
require_once('display_fns.php');
do_html_header(':: HOME PAGE');
.......................
...................
?>

What is the problem.

Use a print or echo command instead of putting the HTML in the middle of your PHP code ?

<?php

function do_html_header($title)
{

print "<html>
	<head>
	<title> $title </title>
	<meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'>
	<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='css/mystyle.css'>
	..........................

	<table width='770' border='0'>
	<tr>
	<td colspan='2' class='logo'><img src='images/epheader2.gif'></td>
	</tr>

	</table>";
}
?>

replacing all the " character by a simple quote ' inside then print "...";

( or escaping them if you prefer : having \" instead of " inside the print )
