[RESOLVED] newbie question about escaping while loop

[ade1982]

$form = '<form method="post" action="">
<table id="Form-Details">
<input type=hidden name=todo value=submit>
<tr>
    <td width=20>Message:</td>
    <td><textarea rows="6" name="message" cols="47" class="input">
	'.while ($info3 = mysql_fetch_array( $sql2 )) {
	echo info3[remarks];
	}.''.makeSticky('message').'</textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td class="right1"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /><input type="reset" value="Reset" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>'."\n";

while ($info3 = mysql_fetch_array( $sql2 )) {
echo info3[remarks];
}

in that code above

Thanks in Advance

Sorry, I messed the description up.

the whole form is assigned to a variable, $form

it raises an exception "unexpected T_WHILE" on the line where the while loop is, and I don't know how to concatenate the while loop to the rest of the form.

Sorry for the confusion.

$form = "<form method=\"post\" action=\"\">
<table id=\"Form-Details\">
<input type=hidden name=todo value=submit>
<tr>
    <td width=20>Message:</td>
    <td>
    <textarea rows=\"6\" name=\"message\" cols=\"47\" class=\"input\">"

.while ($info3 = mysql_fetch_array( $sql2 )) 
{
echo info3[remarks];
}.''.makeSticky('message').

"</textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td class=\"right1\"><input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" /><input type=\"reset\" value=\"Reset\" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form><br\>";

HTH

Thanks, I was thinking something along the same lines and was playing about with it, but now the above code gives the error

"unexpected [" on the line

$form .= info3['remarks'];

Driving me crazy now!

[scrupul0us]

$form .= $info3['remarks'];

basic code error... open your eyes 😃

Marvellous!

I feel like such a div (again!) 😃

Thanks to all for putting up with that
