echoing form if not sent

[droidus]

i have a form, and if the form has not been sent, it shows the form.  here is  my code for the beginning:

 

if($sent != true) { 
echo"
?>

<div class='form'><form action='' method='post'> [b]!!![/b]
<p class='form'>User ID: <br /><input name='memberID' type='hidden' value='<?php echo $row['id'] ?>' />
  Your User ID will be logged for identity purposes. 
    <br /><input type='checkbox' name='noIdentity' id='noIdentity' value='noIdentity'
    <?php 
if(isset($_POST['errors']) && isset($_POST[noIdentity])) { [b]!!![/b]
	echo ' checked='checked '"; 
} 
?>
     />

 

and the end:

 

<?php 
	";
}
	?>

 

it doesn't like what i have the exclamations next to.  also, am i doing this right?

and what exactly does "it doesn't like" meen?

perhaps missing some single quotes here?

isset($_POST[noIdentity][.php]

Why do you start an echo, then immediately attempt to issue a closing ?> tag within the quotes?

[WebStyles]

$_POST[noIdentity]

 

should be

 

$_POST['noIdentity']

[droidus]

it still doesn't like the line,

<p class='form'>User ID: <br /><input name='memberID' type='hidden' value='<?php echo $row['id'] ?>' />

 

and i am trying to close the entire echo statement.

[WebStyles]

<?php echo $row['id']; ?>

 

what do you mean "it doesnt like the line?" what error do you get?

<?php echo $row['id']; ?>

:facewall:

[droidus]

ok, but wouldn't the value "'" get confused with the row id "'"?

value='<?php echo $row['id']; ?>'

 

also, it still doesn't like that row.  it gives off an error saying "unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING"

Once again, I ask:

 

Why do you start an echo, then immediately attempt to issue a closing ?> tag within the quotes?

[droidus]

oh, right:

 

if($sent != true) { 
echo"

 

would i still close with this?:

 

<?php

";

}

?>

[droidus]

ok, so here were some of the fixes:

 

i guess if you use echo "$row['name']"; you can't use the single quotes.  so i took those out, and it was happy. although now when i do value='<?php if(isset($errors)) { echo $_POST[otherEmail]; } ?>' i get in the text box, this php code.  so i just put in $_POST[otherEmail].
