I apologize, I was being rude. More specifically, I don't see why you say all html tags should be in single quotes. There's several ways you can do things in almost every situation in PHP, and I can just as easily say you should always use double quotes. I of course would be wrong though. echo "<table align='center' width='80%'>"; provides the convenience of inserting variables: echo "<table align='center' width='$width'>"; which you can not do with single quotes, so I could argue that double quotes are better. So, in contrast to my original rude comment (again, I apologize) perhaps I should of said: Why do you say that? -Micah On Sunday 25 September 2005 9:44 pm, Micah Stevens wrote: > That's ridiculous. > > On Sunday 25 September 2005 9:28 pm, balwant singh wrote: > > all html tags should be in single quote when used in php like > > > > echo '<table align=center width=80%>'; > > echo '<tr><td align=center>'; echo "HELLO"; > > echo '</td></tr></table>'; > > > > > > > > With Best Wishes > > > > Balwant Singh > > ======================== > > INDO ASIAN FUSEGEAR LTD. > > A-39, HOSIERY COMPLEX > > PHASE - II EXTN., NOIDA > > PH: +91 - 120 - 3048140 / 3042222 > > FAX: +91 - 120 - 2568 473 > > WEB : www.indoasian.com > > > > > > > > -------- Original Message -------- > > From: "Daryl Booth" <adbooth@xxxxxxxxxxx> > > To: php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > > Subject: HTML Tables in PHP... > > Date: 9/25/2005 19:05 > > > > >How can I give a <table> </table> with all of it's parameters in PHP in > > > each of the cells there is a variable that gives me the data back but I > > > can't get the table to show as it always gives me either this error > > > "Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_LNUMBER, expecting ',' or ';' > > > in C:\FoxServ\www\Dad\proofing\index.php on line 41" or this one when I > > > don't put in the quotes "Parse error: parse error, unexpected '<', > > > expecting ',' or ';' in C:\FoxServ\www\Dad\proofing\index.php on line > > > 41". > > > > > > > > > > > >Here is the PHP code I'm using: > > > > > > > > > > > ><?php > > > > > >$datei="c:\licence.txt"; > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >if(file_exists($datei)){ > > > > > > $nachricht="The licence has been validated thank-you!"; > > > > > > $fp = fopen($datei,"r"); > > > > > > fpassthru($fp); > > > > > > fclose($fp); > > > > > > } > > > > > >else{ > > > > > > $nachricht="The licence doesn't exist please contact us! > > > > > > echo <table width="694" height="501" border="0" align="center" > > >cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> > > > > > > <tr> > > > > > > <td height="109" colspan="7"><img src="images/1.jpg" width="857" > > >height="109" border="0" usemap="#Map"></td> > > > > > > </tr> > > > > > > <tr> > > > > > > <td width="39" rowspan="2"><img src="images/lefty.jpg" width="39" > > >height="394"></td> > > > > > > <td width="8" height="369"> </td> > > > > > > <td width="240" class="style5"></td> > > > > > > <td width="12" height="369" class="style5"> </td> > > > > > > <td width="407" height="369" class="style5"><span > > >class="style3"><b>$nachricht</b></span><br></td> > > > > > > <td width="346" rowspan="2"><img src="images/righty.jpg" width="346" > > >height="394" border="0" usemap="#Map2"></td> > > > > > > </tr> > > > > > > <tr> > > > > > > <td height="23" colspan="5"><img src="images/bottom.jpg" width="472" > > >height="23"></td> > > > > > > </tr> > > > > > ></table>; > > > > > >} > > > > > >?> -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
