[SOLVED] Running php inside of a <<<HTML thing, whatever that is?

jaxdevil · July 26, 2008

I have a code I use to display items from my database and paginate them. The html portion is inside a container that starts with <<<HTML and ends with HTML; , I do not know what that is. Inside the code I am trying to run a small php if statement and it won't work inside of it. What kind of container is this code and how can I run php inside of it?

Here is the code I am trying to run inside of it and below is the entire page, you will see where the code is at and the <<<HTML container, whatever that is. BTW all the code calls inside of it are inside curly brackets, if that helps to figure out what kind of container it is.

<?
if ( $act == "yes")  {
?>
<img src="images/active.jpg" border="0">
<?
}
if ( $act == "no")  {
?>
<img src="images/inactive.jpg" border="0">
<?
}
else {
?>
<img src="images/active.jpg" border="0">
<?
}
?>

It's called a heredoc. Google it. You can't run PHP inside of it, just like you can't run PHP inside of any other string.

Can I make a function outside of it and call it from within inside the curly brackets?

MasterACE14 · July 27, 2008

try it.

jaxdevil · July 27, 2008

I tried, its not working. I redid the code to be an echo instead of the heredoc thing, and I am trying to call the code as a function, but its not working. I am copying the function I made below and the way I am trying to call it, its not working so maybe you can see what I am doing wrong?

<?php
function displayIcon($icon_code)
  {
if ( $icon_code == "yes")  {
?>
<img src="images/active.gif" border="0">
<?
}
if ( $icon_code == "no")  {
?>
<img src="images/inactive.gif" border="0">
<?
}
}

                     $icon_r = displayIcon(yes);
echo "{$icon_r}";
?>

I figured it out.
