How to intergrate php into an echo ?

Anon

What I want to do is quite simple, but it still doesn't work...

I've put an echo() fonction that displays some Htlm, and I want another php function to be run whithin this echo.

In other words, it looks like this :

<?php

echo "<td class=\"txtgris\"><input ".if (!(strcmp("$categ","internet"))) {echo "CHECKED";}." type=\"radio\" name=\"categ\" value=\"internet\"></td>";

It just give me an error : "Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_IF in (...)"

How to make it ? Thanks.

There is a different way you can do that.

Build output

When you build it use concatenation instead of buffering output.

$content="<input type=radio name=categ value=internet ";
if($categ!="internet")
$content.=CHECKED>";
else
$content.=>"

Display output

echo "$content";

Last line under 1. should be

$content.=">";

i know it is everybody's preference. to me embed the php codes into html codes, it is easier than using php to echo the html codes. specially, while embedding the php codes into html codes, you can use dreamweaver or many other web tools to format and debug the codes.

such as the codes nicolas gave could be
<form>
<table width="100%" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="txtgris">
<input type="radio" name="categ" value="internet" <?php if(!(strcmp("$categ","internet"))) { ?> checked <?php } ?>>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

coding this way is easy to debug in dreamweaver etc.

plus, will embedding php codes into html codes have a little bit performance advantage than echoing all codes including html tags?

Depending on the size of the file, I would think it would be faster to embed HTML into PHP, than to embed PHP into HTML.
