wildteen88 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Use HEREDOC:[code=php:0]<?php echo <<<HTML<table width="400" border="1"> <tr> <td>{$a}</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr></table>HTML;// DO NOT INDENT OR PUT ANYTHING ON THE LINE ABOVE?>[/code]Or use this, not the use of the concatenation operator (.)[code=php:0]<?php echo '<table width="400" border="1"> <tr> <td>' . $a . '</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr></table>'; ?>[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/19303-help-with-syntax/#findComment-83730 Share on other sites More sharing options...
