Html-->PHP...

[FlyingIsFun1217]

Hey,

I was wondering, how would a simple html code snippet like this:

[code]<a href="aim:GoIM?screenname=myscreenname">
<img src="http://api.oscar.aol.com/SOA/key=fl1aQV3Tmy/presence/myscreennameagain" border="0"/></a>[/code]

be changed to php code?

Thanks for the help!

[code]<?php
echo '<a href="aim:GoIM?screenname=myscreenname">
<img src="http://api.oscar.aol.com/SOA/key=fl1aQV3Tmy/presence/myscreennameagain" border="0"/></a>';
?>[/code]

hmmm...

That gives me an error...
[quote]Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\Hosted Pages & Files\sphpblog-0.4.8\scripts\sb_theme.php on line 37[/quote]

I think this might be due to the way that the code that it goes in is set up:
[code]$result = array();
$result[ 'title' ] = 'Am I on AIM?';
$result[ 'content' ] = 'content(php code to retireve image) goes here';

return ( $result );
}[/code]

If you would like to see what I am kinda trying to change, check out [url=http://www.simplephpblog.com/static.php?page=adding_php_block]this page[/url]

Thanks again!

[code]<?php
echo '<a href="aim:GoIM?screenname=myscreenname">
<img src="http://api.oscar.aol.com/SOA/key=fl1aQV3Tmy/presence/myscreennameagain" border="0"></a>';
?>[/code]

There is no unescaped characters in that code above.

So would it be set up as so?
[code]function menu_aim_presence () {
// AIM Presence Block

$result = array();
$result[ 'title' ] = 'Am I on AIM?';
$result[ 'content' ] = 'echo '<a href="aim:GoIM?screenname=myscreenname">
<img src="http://api.oscar.aol.com/SOA/key=fl1aQV3Tmy/presence/myscreennameagain" border="0"></a>';

return ( $result );
} [/code]
If so, I am still getting an error for some reason:
[quote]Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\Hosted Pages & Files\sphpblog-0.4.8\scripts\sb_theme.php[/quote]

Thanks for helpin a noob...

remove the "echo '" from that line.  echo is to output something to the browser.

Sometimes I think I'm going crazy... Thanks for reminding me!
