echoing html form

genista

Hi,

I have a script that on a condition it will display a form to enter data into. You will find the code below, followed by the problem (hopefully not too hard):

 echo '<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"'."\n".
	'"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">'."\n\n".
	'<html lang="en">'."\n".
	'	<form name="form1" method="post" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data"> 
	'	<input type="file" name="imagefile"> 
	'	<p>&nbsp;</td><td><input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit"></p>
	'	</table>
	'	</form>
	'	</body>
	'	</html>
	exit}

The error I get is "Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' on line 25" which is:

' <input type="file" name="imagefile">

Any ideas on why this isnt working?

Thanks,

you are not using enough ' '
your echo code should be all RED.

why not just echo it all at once

echo '<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
   <html lang="en">
    <form name="form1" method="post" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="file" name="imagefile">
    <p>&nbsp;</td><td><input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit"></p>
    </table>
   </form>';

the souce result won't be "clean" but it will send out the right information.

every line doesn't need a new " ' ", the string will carry over multiple lines

echo 'hello,'."\n".
' what is

going
on
';
