ToonMariner Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 if you use double quoted string you must escape any double quotes within that string!so each time you have anything like width="534" you shoudl use width=\"534\" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronverdonk Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 You start your ech with a double quote. But then you also surround the html attributes with double quotes. Anything between your first echo "and the last echo " should be single quotes or escaped. Then the PHP variables will display allright. You should (just 1 line example) write e.g.:[code]echo "<table width='534' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'> <tr> <td width='135'>Company Name: </td>etc .....[/code] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
