[SOLVED] echo problem with double quotes " "

[sebastiaandraaisma]

Hi,

I try to echo out the following:

if ($timezone != "NULL") { //If a timezone is available for this country, show time
echo
"<tr>
<td><span class="style3"> Local time in echo ".$time."</span> 
</td>
</tr>"
}

I get an error because of the double quotes in class="style3"

 

I tried the following:

<?php
if ($timezone != "NULL") { //If a timezone is available for this country, show time
echo
?>
<tr>
<td><span class="style3"> Local time in <?php echo $time?></span> 
</td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>

But still got an error.

 

My intention is to show the table cell only when var $timezone has been defined.

 

I read trough my MySQL & PHP bible but could not find the answer

All help is apriciated.

 

Kind regards,

Sebas.

Either escape the double quotes with a backslash, use single quotes in the style value, or use single quotes to delimit you main string or you can use the heredoc format.

echo

'<tr>

<td><span class="style3"> Local time in '.$time.'</span>

</td>

</tr>'

 

or

 

echo

"<tr>

<td><span class=\"style3\"> Local time in $time</span>

</td>

</tr>"

echo

"<tr>

<td><span class=\"style3\"> Local time in echo ".$time."</span>

</td>

</tr>";

}

My personal preference is to jump in and out of php when needed like in the first example

 

<?php

if ($timezone != "NULL") { //If a timezone is available for this country, show time

?>

<tr>

<td><span class="style3"> Local time in echo  <?=$time ?></span>

</td>

</tr>

 

<?php } ?>

 

As long as everything else above and below this snippet of code is correct, this method should work just fine.
