ttmt Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 How to input a large block of html code with passed variables? Hi all I have a large block of html code that is part of the paypal add to cart button. I need to add this code a number of times with different variables for each one. I want to have this block of html in a separate function that I can then call and pass in the variables in. PHP <?php function item($name, $number){ echo " <div class='product'> <h2>Product Name</h2> <form target='paypal' action='https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr' method='post'> <input type='hidden' name='cmd' value='_cart''> <input type='hidden' name='business' value='emailAddress'> <input type='hidden' name='lc' value='GB'> <input type='hidden' name='item_name' value='".$name."'> <input type='hidden' name='item_number' value='".$number."'> <input type='hidden' name='button_subtype' value='products'> <input type='hidden' name='no_note' value='0'> <input type='hidden' name='cn' value='Add special instructions to the seller'> <input type='hidden' name='no_shipping' value='2'> <input type='hidden' name='add' value='1'> <input type='hidden' name='bn' value='PP-ShopCartBF:btn_cart_LG.gif:NonHosted'> <table> <tr><td><input type='hidden' name='on0' value='Number of Users'>Number of Users</td></tr><tr><td><select name='os0'> <option value='1 - 5'>1 - 5 £0.01</option> <option value='6 - 10'>6 - 10 £0.02</option> <option value='11 - 20'>11 - 20 £0.03</option> <option value='21 - 50'>21 - 50 £0.04</option> <option value='51 - 100'>51 - 100 £0.05</option> <option value='100+'>100+ £0.06</option> </select> </td></tr> </table> <input type='hidden' name='currency_code' value='GBP'> <input type='hidden' name='option_select0' value='1 - 5'> <input type='hidden' name='option_amount0' value='0.01'> <input type='hidden' name='option_select1' value='6 - 10'> <input type='hidden' name='option_amount1' value='0.02'> <input type='hidden' name='option_select2' value='11 - 20'> <input type='hidden' name='option_amount2' value='0.03'> <input type='hidden' name='option_select3' value='21 - 50'> <input type='hidden' name='option_amount3' value='0.04'> <input type='hidden' name='option_select4' value='51 - 100'> <input type='hidden' name='option_amount4' value='0.05'> <input type='hidden' name='option_select5' value='100+'> <input type='hidden' name='option_amount5' value='0.06'> <input type='hidden' name='option_index' value='0'> <input class='button' type='image' src='https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_GB/i/btn/btn_cart_LG.gif' border='0' name='submit' alt='PayPal — The safer, easier way to pay online.'> <img alt='' border='0' src='https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif' width='1' height='1'> </form> </div> } " ?> HTML <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> <title>untitled</title> <?php require_once("functions.php"); ?> </head> <body> <?php item($car, $deo); ?> </body> </html> How can I output this html code from a function with passed in variables ?

WebStyles Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 seems fine to be, except you closed the function braces BEFORE you closed the echo quotes... instead of: } " at the end of the function, try: "; } then just call the function with: require_once("functions.php"); item("the name you want", "the number you want"); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
