PHP with HTML

[thebigchief]

Can someone convert what I have here so that I can use it as echo "code below";

 

I have tried all sorts and it just does not seem to work:

 

<form action="process.php" method="POST">
<table align="left" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">
<tr><td>Username:</td><td><input type="text" name="user" maxlength="30" value="<?php echo $form->value("user"); ?>"></td><td><?php echo $form->error("user"); ?></td></tr>
<tr><td>Password:</td><td><input type="password" name="pass" maxlength="30" value="<?php echo $form->value("pass"); ?>"></td><td><?php echo $form->error("pass"); ?></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2" align="left"><input type="checkbox" name="remember" <?php if($form->value("remember") != ""){ echo "checked"; } ?>
<font size="2">Remember me next time     
<input type="hidden" name="sublogin" value="1">
<input type="submit" value="Login"></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2" align="left"><br><font size="2">[<a href="forgotpass.php">Forgot Password?</a>]</font></td><td align="right"></td></tr>
</table>
</form>

i don't really understand what you mean. Do you want to echo out that whole bit like a string value or something?

heredocs could be worth looking in: http://www.phpf1.com/tutorial/php-heredoc-syntax.html

Yep, that's pretty much what I wanna do. I need the above to be echoed out but I seem to get the " and the ' all over the place.

[fortnox007]

did you try the heredoc??

another way could be to do something like this

 

<?php if (1==1){ ?>

<form action="process.php" method="POST">
<table align="left" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">
<tr><td>Username:</td><td><input type="text" name="user" maxlength="30" value="<?php echo $form->value("user"); ?>"></td><td><?php echo $form->error("user"); ?></td></tr>
<tr><td>Password:</td><td><input type="password" name="pass" maxlength="30" value="<?php echo $form->value("pass"); ?>"></td><td><?php echo $form->error("pass"); ?></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2" align="left"><input type="checkbox" name="remember" <?php if($form->value("remember") != ""){ echo "checked"; } ?>
<font size="2">Remember me next time     
<input type="hidden" name="sublogin" value="1">
<input type="submit" value="Login"></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2" align="left"><br><font size="2">[<a href="forgotpass.php">Forgot Password?</a>]</font></td><td align="right"></td></tr>
</table>
</form>


<?php } ?>

Just looked at it there but I dont understand how it would work with the other php parts I have in there.

[fortnox007]

XD looking is not trying.

 

heredoc just is a nice way to but crap loads of html without using all echoes and stuff.

exactly as the example on the page i linked shows:

<?php
    
$name = "Max";

$str = <<<DEMO

      Hello $name! <br/>
      This is a 
      demo message
      with heredoc.
DEMO; //make sure this mark touched the sideline!!!
      
echo $str;

?>

 

[thebigchief]

The output on the page now shows this:

 

Username: <input type="text" name="user" maxlength="30" value="

 

Then completely blank 

[fortnox007]

The output on the page now shows this:

 

Username: <input type="text" name="user" maxlength="30" value="

 

Then completely blank 

 

I bet that's because your using <?php  and ?> inside the heredoc. just use $var instead of <?php echo $var; ?>

 

-edit: i haven't tested it, but i would also put the conditional stuf above the heredoc and only use plain variables in the herdoc itself, i am pretty sure the -> signs won't work inside it. Well i assume you know how to do that

[thebigchief]

I've played about with the heredoc and cant get it to work either....

 

I either get a blank output or it shows part the code on the page 

 

Since I can work out your decimal name can you help me a little more 

[fortnox007]

I am pretty sure if you read what i wrote above here you should have been able to do so but it seems comfort is more appreciated. XD

by the way what editor are you using your code is missing loads of endtags!. download netbeans and use it!!

 

I would appreciate it if you would put some effort in this yourself.

anyways here is a ready made code:

 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
    <title>lazy people's form</title>
</head>
    <body>
      <h1>lazy people never get rich</h1>

<?php 
//define your conditional variables above the heredoc (exactly as i told!)

$user = 'user';
$pass = 'pasword';
$your_error_user = 'lalala';
$your_error_user = 'lalalalalala';
$your_conditional_value = 'whatever'; // you can put an if-statement infront of this

//starting of your heredoc (exactly as i told!!)
$str = <<<DEMO

      <form action="process.php" method="POST">
        <table align="left" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">
            <tr><td>Username:</td><td><input type="text" name="user" maxlength="30" value="$user" /></td><td>$your_error_user</td></tr>
            <tr><td>Password:</td><td><input type="password" name="pass" maxlength="30" value="$pass" /></td><td>$your_error_pass</td></tr>
            <tr><td colspan="2" align="left"><input type="checkbox" name="remember" value="$your_conditional_value" />
            <font size="2" />Remember me next time     
            <input type="hidden" name="sublogin" value="1" />
            <input type="submit" value="Login" /></td></tr>
            <tr><td colspan="2" align="left" ><br /><font size="2">[<a href="forgotpass.php">Forgot Password?</a>]</font></td><td align="right"></td></tr>
        </table>
      </form>
      
DEMO;

//I hope next time you read more carefuly in the comments!!
?>
    </body>
</html>

Thank you sooooo much, I know it doesn't seem it but I honestly did try.

 

I am using Notepad ++ which has not thrown anything up as yet.

[fortnox007]

no problemo 

 

I can really recommend netbeans, I use it in combination with xampp (10 min. easy setup) and it works like a charm.

I also noticed you use <br> it should be <br /> and don't forget the  /> at the end of your input fields.

Just compare your code and mine and you see what I mean.

best of luck!

[elmas156]

just a quick question... what does it matter if <br> is used instead of <br />?  Just wondering because I have been using a lot of <br> instead of <br />.

[Pikachu2000]

It depends whether your doctype is HTML or XHTML as to which one you'd use. XML/XHTML require that all tags be explicitly closed, so they use the <br /> tag format.

[fortnox007]

maybe have a look in this

http://24ways.org/2005/transitional-vs-strict-markup

just a quote from that article:

Go Strict and move all presentation to CSS

 

Something that can be helpful when doing the transition from Transitional to Strict DOCTYPEs is to focus on what each element of the page you are working on is instead of how you want it to look.

 

Worry about looks later and get the structure and semantics right first.
