Does this table coding make sense

[stbalaji2u]

Hi friends

whats the problem with this table tag which i used to embed in my php coding is the problem is with doule quotes ???

echo "<table border="0">
			<tr><td>id:</td>
			<td>$row[id]</td>
			</tr>
			<tr><td>Name:</td>
			<td>$row[name]</td>
			</tr>
			<tr><td>Comment:</td>
			<td>$row[com]</td>
			</tr>
			</table>";

you didn't escape your quotes

 

echo "<table border=\"0\">

As escaping the quotes would result in an ugly code, add single quotes for the attribute values:

 

echo "<table border='0'>";

Isn't it an HTML standard to use double quotes around attribute values?

[Fadion]

Then use the other way around

 

echo '<table border="0">';

corbin is right.  You should use singles for the echo and double quotes for the attributes.

 

Try this:

 

echo '</pre>
<table border="0">
id:
 ' . $row[id] . ' 

Name:
 ' . $row[name] . ' 

Comment:
 ' . $row[com] . '

</ta

 

This is not tested but I think it's right.  You need to concatenate the php variables to the string or else they would be read in as HTML text.

While we're at it, you shouldn't use un-quoted strings to access arrays unless you mean to use constants.

 

Any un-quoted (if you know what I mean) string is interpreted as a constant, then, if a constant isn't found, it's used literally.

 

So, $row[id] for example should be $row['id'] or $row["id"].  (I would go with single quotes, but that's just a habit.)
