php in html

[Pain]

I have a form inside a php code. And inside this form i want to put some php code again.

<?php
...
echo '<form action="main.php?id=jams" method="POST">
Choose rating 
<input type="hidden" name="jamrate" />
<select name="jamrate">
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
<option>4</option>
<option>5</option>
</select>

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="<?php echo $view_id; ?>">
</form><br /><br />'; 		
...
?>

<?php echo $view_id; ?>

How can i do that?

you have only part of your form inside of the echo statement, but not the closing tags?

this is the way that I would do it..

 

<form action="main.php?id=jams" method="POST">
Choose rating 
<input type="hidden" name="jamrate" />
<select name="jamrate">
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
<option>4</option>
<option>5</option>
</select>

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="<?php echo $view_id; ?>">
</form><br /><br />';

no, i have full form in the echo

echo '<form action="main.php?id=jams" method="POST">
Choose rating 
<input type="hidden" name="jamrate" />
<select name="jamrate">
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
<option>4</option>
<option>5</option>
</select>

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="<?php echo $view_id; ?>">
</form><br /><br />'; 	

 

and this way it doesn't work. Instead of saying submit, it now says <?php echo $view_id; ?>

Concatenation. Paste the "String" together like this...

<?php
...
echo '<form action="main.php?id=jams" method="POST">
Choose rating 
<input type="hidden" name="jamrate" />
<select name="jamrate">
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
<option>4</option>
<option>5</option>
</select>

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="'. $view_id .'">
</form><br /><br />'; 		
...
?>

you cannot nest <?php tags, this will cause unexpected results and most of the time errors. If you insist on using the echo language construct here to output your form, then drop the nested php tags..

 

echo "<form action='main.php?id=jams' method='POST'>
Choose rating 
<input type='hidden' name='jamrate' />
<select name='jamrate'>
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
<option>4</option>
<option>5</option>
</select>

<input type='submit' name='submit' value='$view_id'>
</form><br /><br />";

 

also, note that you will need to assign each option element a value in order to depict which one is selected
