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.

[Colin-Roberts]

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

Fair dos.

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

"Tell me how i would display text"

"ECHO "TEXT";" ZOmG
