Hello list,
I was just wondering if I could get some opinions on a snippet of
code which breaks a php web page.
First the working code which is basically an html form being echoed by php:
if ($output_form) {
echo '<br /><br /><form action="sendemail.php>" method="post">
<label for="subject">Subject of email:</label><br />
<input id="subject" name="subject" type="text" size="30" /><br />
<label for="elvismail">Body of email:</label><br />
<textarea id="elvismail" name="elvismail" rows="8"
cols="40"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
</form>';
}
However if I change the form action to this, it breaks the page
resulting in a white screen of death:
if ($output_form) {
echo '<br /><br /><form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>"
method="post">
<label for="subject">Subject of email:</label><br />
<input id="subject" name="subject" type="text" size="30" /><br />
<label for="elvismail">Body of email:</label><br />
<textarea id="elvismail" name="elvismail" rows="8"
cols="40"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
</form>';
}
Reverting the one line to this:
echo '<br /><br /><form action="sendemail.php" method="post">
gets it working again. Now I don't know if it's an unbalanced quote
mark or what's going on. But I'd appreciate any advice you may have.
Best,
tim
heredoc is best for this
if ($output_form){
$report = <<<sty
<br /><br />
<form action="sendemail.php>" method="post" >
<label for="subject">Subject of email:</label>
<br />
<input id="subject" name="subject" type="text" size="30" />
<br />
<label for="elvismail">Body of email:</label>
<br />
<textarea id="elvismail" name="elvismail" rows="8"cols="40"></textarea>
<br />
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
sty;
}
