Echo table statement won't work

[crmamx]

// Other code
//echo "<table border='10' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='2'>";  This works
echo "<table class="my-table">";                                     //This does not work
echo "<tr><th>First Name</th><th>Last Name</th><th>Home Phone</th><th>Cell Phone</th><th>email</th></tr>";

// keeps getting the next row until there are no more to get ================

while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {

// Print out the contents of each row into a table ==========================

echo "<tr><td>";
echo $row['first'];
echo "</td><td>";
echo $row['last'];
echo "</td><td>";
echo $row['phone'];
echo "</td><td>";
echo $row['cell'];
echo "</td><td>";
echo $row['email'];
echo "</td></tr>"; 
} 
echo "</table>";
?>

Error message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/bayare27/public_html/content/pages/display_all_members1.php on line 29

Line 29 is:  echo "<table class="my-table">";                                     

 

<table class="my-table">" is a valid statement because It works in another program, but html not php

echo "<table class="my-table">";

slash out the quotes

You've enclose double quotes within a double-quoted string. The enclosed quotes need to be escaped with a backslash.

OR the quotes within the string need to be changed to single-quotes.

OR the enclosing quotes can be changed to single quotes . . .

You guys talk a foreign language..

 

But I was able to Google it and find how to do it. Works like a charm.

 

My undersized brain would have understood the single quotes but that wasn't posted until after I researched the other.

 

Many thanks.

That's a good thing, then. It means you learned another piece of valuable information about PHP's syntax.

You are right. First time I have ever encountered that. I am sure I must have read about it in the tutorials but it did not stick with me.
