Table inside a Echo without errors..

[Colin-Roberts]

I'm trying to code a table inside one echo.

It says unexpected t string on the first line..
It's not a matter of alot of adding alot of / is it.

echo "<font face="verdana"><table class="style9" border="0" width="356">
<tbody>
<tr><td class="style7" align="middle" bgcolor="#bce0ee" width="76" height="14"><div class="style2" align="center"><strong><font size="1">Day:</font></strong></div></td>
<td class="style9" align="middle" bgcolor="#bce0ee" width="118" height="14"><div class="style2" align="center"><strong><font size="1">Event:</font></strong></div></td>
<td class="style9" align="middle" bgcolor="#bce0ee" width="148" height="14"><div class="style2" align="center"><strong>Info:</strong></div></td>
</tr></tbody></table>
<table class="style9" border="0" width="356">

<tbody>
<tr><td class="style7" align="middle" bgcolor="#bce0ee" width="76" height="14"><div align="center">$day</div></td>
<td class="style9" align="middle" bgcolor="#bce0ee" width="118" height="14"><div align="center"><font size="1"><font face="verdana"><span class=\"event_name\">$event</span></font></font></div></td>
<td class="style9" align="middle" bgcolor="#bce0ee" width="148" height="14"><div align="center"><font size="1"><font face="verdana">$description</font></font></div></td>

</tr></tbody></table>";

Use ' or \"

[wsg14]

echo "<font face=\"verdana\"><table class=\"style9\" border=\"0\" width=\"356\">
<tbody>
<tr><td class=\"style7\" align=\"middle\" bgcolor=\"#bce0ee\" width=\"76\" height=\"14\"><div class=\"style2\" align=\"center\"><strong><font size=\"1\">Day:</font></strong></div></td>
<td class=\"style9\" align=\"middle\" bgcolor=\"#bce0ee\" width=\"118\" height=\"14\"><div class=\"style2\" align=\"center\"><strong><font size=\"\1">Event:</font></strong></div></td>
<td class=\"style9\" align=\"middle\" bgcolor=\"#bce0ee\" width=\"148\" height=\"14\"><div class=\"style2\" align=\"center\"><strong>Info:</strong></div></td>
</tr></tbody></table>
<table class=\"style9\" border=\"0\" width=\"356\">

<tbody>
<tr><td class=\"style7\" align=\"middle\" bgcolor=\"#bce0ee\" width=\"76\" height=\"14\"><div align=\"center\">$day</div></td>
<td class=\"style9\" align=\"middle\" bgcolor=\"#bce0ee\" width=\"118\" height=\"14\"><div align=\"center\"><font size=\"1\"><font face=\"verdana\"><span class=\"event_name\">$event</span></font></font></div></td>
<td class=\"style9\" align=\"middle\" bgcolor=\"#bce0ee\" width=\"148\" height=\"14\"><div align=\"center\"><font size=\"1\"><font face=\"verdana\">$description</font></font></div></td>

</tr></tbody></table>";

I missed one but I can't seem to edit it in. :S But I think you get the idea.

It really is a matter of using /"

Simply just use ' instead of " on the echo to save you the hastle of adding a load of slashes.

Collin i thought u were gd at php lol

[Colin-Roberts]

I'm alright at it. it's the stupid mistakes that get me.

got it fixed..

[Awfy]

I don't even code PHP and I realised the issue instantly :S You obviously can't be that great of a coder.

Naa, Collin has a good point. When you are at a certain level you miss out obvious mistakes such as ; and closing the " etc.

I used to do it :)

Also Greg why don't you learn PHP somewhen? You have ONE of the best coders on the forum working with you so..?

All the more reason not to learn it when other people can :P

Fair dos.

But it could help you in the future. Somebody could be like

"Tell me how i would display text"

"ECHO "TEXT";" ZOmG

[Excellent2]

"ECHO "TEXT";" ZOmGAny web designer/developer who doesn't know how to print text via PHP needs his/her head crushing with a nut crusher.

Ahh u lie !

Designers don't need to know PHP or how to code layouts :P

They just need to know photoshop

Lol it's not really an obvious mistake though. It's like a fundamental of printing text :P

They just need to know photoshopNo but they should know basic PHP as sometimes they may need it?

Poor designers. Good designers will be able to code their layout nicely, and implement things like javascript navigation or image viewers. The design doesn't stop at Photoshop.


No but they should know basic PHP as sometimes they may need it?

For someone making a layout PHP isn't a requirement. If you're using PHP within your website for including pages or a usersystem then yeah, you should have at least a basic knowledge of PHP.

If that's so HotelUser then why have I been able to get myself a job as Lead Designer? :S

I only code HTML and CSS, I don't even go near Javascript or PHP.

Because in this case there's people qualified to code the PHP or Javascript.
