Html Form echo

[Shadowing]

A week ago i thought i saw something about another way to display a form in the php manual but cant find it anymore.

so im wondering is there another way to echo a form with out echoing every html line.

Maybe you saw HEREDOC syntax?

[Shadowing]

it was like something_FORM or FORM_something

Certainly doesn't sound like a PHP function to me.

since im not trying to echo insert data into a form

 

was wondering if there is another way to control the html with out echoing the form to control who can see the html or not.

Can you clarify what you mean by that?

I have a page where I only want some users to see a html form on.

and was wondering if their is a way to do it with out echoing it in line by line

 

 

 

<?php

       					$who3 = "SELECT monitor FROM users WHERE id='".mysql_real_escape_string($_SESSION['user_id'])."'";
				$who2 = mysql_query($who3) or die(mysql_error());
				$who1 = mysql_fetch_array($who2);
if ($who1['monitor'] == 'admin') {


echo '<div class="containerc">';
echo '<div class="search">';
echo '<form method="post" action="">';
echo '<p>Add a Mod?</p>';
echo '<input type="text" name="name" id="name" onfocus="if(this.value=="Add a Mod?")this.value=" ";" value="Add a Mod?"/>';
echo '<p class="submit"><input type="submit" name="add" id="add" value="Add"></p> <br /><br />';
echo '</form>';
echo  '</div>';
echo  '</div>';

}
?>

 

 

also just ran into a problem. I cant make the onfocus line work with the echo.

 

echo '<input type="text" name="name" id="name" onfocus="if(this.value=="Add a Mod?")this.value=" ";" value="Add a Mod?"/>';

Echo the entire table in one rather than line by line, although either way it's going to have the same outcome.

Or look at HEREDOC syntax again, as that's exactly what it's most useful for.
