[RESOLVED] echo and '

[abasel]

I have the following code that I want to use in an if-statement

<div id="p7sc1Reset" style="position:absolute; left:546px; top:239px; width:18px; height:18px; z-index:103; background-color: ; layer-background-color: "><a href="javascript:;" onMouseDown="P7_runScroller('p7scroller1','Reset','Medium',0,0,0,0);return false" onClick="return false" onFocus="if(this.blur)this.blur()"><img src="gwimages/p7gw_reset.gif" width="18" height="18" border="0" alt="Reset"></a></div>

i.e. <?php
if (condition) do the above
?>

I've enclosed the above with echo " "; and changed all the double quotes to single one.

What do I do with the single quotes? ie. the ones in
onMouseDown="P7_runScroller('p7scroller1','Reset','Medium',0,0,0,0);return false"

Leaving them the same returns a warning in the IE statusbar and the page doesn't work properly.

i never understand why people want to echo everything, just hop in and out of PHP, there is NO performance hit in doing so, it's actually easier for it to just render the HTML than to figure out the " and ' all over the place

<?php
if (condition)
{
?>
DO YOUR HTML STUFF HERE
<?
}
else
{
?>
DO MORE HTML STUFF HERE
<?
}
?>

Or use the heredoc method of quoting and don't worry about quotes, either:

echo <<<END
<div id="p7sc1Reset" 
style="position:absolute; left:546px; top:239px; width:18px; height:18px; z-index:103; background-color: ; layer-background-color: ">
<a href="javascript:;" onMouseDown="P7_runScroller('p7scroller1','Reset','Medium',0,0,0,0);return false" onClick="return false" onFocus="if(this.blur)this.blur()">
<img src="gwimages/p7gw_reset.gif" width="18" height="18" border="0" alt="Reset">
</a></div>
END;

/* there must be no spaces/tabs before "END;" */
