[SOLVED] Echo? why wont you echo?!

[Gnub]

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO, expecting ',' or ';' in URL/CVSReturn.php on line 28

 

Line 28 points to the <form name... > line. 

 

Spent 20 min looking over this without any luck at solving the problem.

 

Anyone able to point out where i've gone wrong?

 

<?PHP
echo "<BR><BR>";
echo "<table bordercolor="#F2DC77" border="1" align="center" width="600" cellpadding="1">";
echo "<form name="frmSearch" action="UpdateTeletext.php" method="post">";
echo "<tr><td bgcolor="#F8BC07" colspan="4" align="center">Record Fields...</td></tr>";
echo "<td>OfferID:    <input type="text" value="$row['Offer ID']" name="OfferID"/></td>";
echo "<tr><td align="center">Price:    <input type="text" name="Price" /></td>";
echo "<td align="center">Flight:   <input type="text" name="FLIGHTS" /></td>";
echo "<td align="center">Accom:    <input type="text" name="ACCOM" /></td>";
echo "<td align="center">Total:   <input type="text" name="TOTAL" /></td></tr>";

?>

You're opening your strings with ". Then inside them you have more ". If you want to use a quote inside a string you opened with that same quote, you have to escape it with a \.

If I were you I'd open the strings with ' so you don't have to escape all your " and then just pop out of it for your one variable.

 

echo '<form name="frmSearch">'; etc.

echo '<inout type="text" value="'.$val.'">';

[printf]

You enclose the echo with ", but you use " in the enclosed string, so you need to escape \" in all your enclosed strings.

 

 

<?php
echo "<BR><BR>";
echo "<table bordercolor=\"#F2DC77\" border=\"1\" align=\"center\" width=\"600\" cellpadding=\"1\">";
echo "<form name=\"frmSearch\" action=\"UpdateTeletext.php\" method=\"post\">";
echo "<tr><td bgcolor=\"#F8BC07\" colspan=\"4\" align=\"center\">Record Fields...</td></tr>";
echo "<td>OfferID:    <input type=\"text\" value=\"" . $row['Offer ID'] . "\" name=\"OfferID\"/></td>";
echo "<tr><td align=\"center\">Price:    <input type=\"text\" name=\"Price\" /></td>";
echo "<td align=\"center\">Flight:   <input type=\"text\" name=\"FLIGHTS\" /></td>";
echo "<td align=\"center\">Accom:    <input type=\"text\" name=\"ACCOM\" /></td>";
echo "<td align=\"center\">Total:   <input type=\"text\" name=\"TOTAL\" /></td></tr>";

?>

 

Also if your using an array element $row['Offer ID'], then you should dot => " . $row['Offer ID'] . ", or enclose it {$row['Offer ID']}

Make sure to escape your " when you echo things out by simple adding a \ before every " inside of the echo (not including the first " right after echo, or the " right before the semi-colon

 

<?PHP
echo "<BR><BR>\";
echo "<table bordercolor=\"#F2DC77\" border=\"1\" align=\"center\" width=\"600\" cellpadding=\"1\">";
echo "<form name=\"frmSearch\" action=\"UpdateTeletext.php\" method=\"post\">\";
echo "<tr><td bgcolor=\"#F8BC07\" colspan=\"4\" align=\"center\">Record Fields...</td></tr>";
echo "<td>OfferID:    <input type=\"text\" value=\"$row['Offer ID']\" name=\"OfferID\"/></td>";
echo "<tr><td align=\"center\">Price:    <input type=\"text\" name=\"Price\" /></td>";
echo "<td align=\"center\">Flight:   <input type=\"text\" name=\"FLIGHTS\" /></td>";
echo "<td align=\"center\">Accom:    <input type=\"text\" name=\"ACCOM\" /></td>";
echo "<td align=\"center\">Total:   <input type=\"text\" name=\"TOTAL\" /></td></tr>";

?>

Points to

echo "<table bordercolor=#F2DC77 border=\"1\" align=\"center\" width=\"600\" cellpadding=\"1\">";

 

thoughts?

[kenrbnsn]

What are the few lines before that one? Some times the error is before the line indicated.

echo "<BR><BR>\";
echo "<table bordercolor=#F2DC77 border=\"1\" align=\"center\" width=\"600\" cellpadding=\"1\">";

 

Before these two lines, the While statment is there, for posting data to the screen.  all of which are working fine.

[Jessica]

echo "<BR><BR>\";

 

You're escaping one you shouldn't there - of course, if you'd taken my advice, that wouldn't happen, but no, no one's listening to me today.

[Gnub]

:S sorry J.

 

if it makes you feel any better...

You have to start looking for these yourself. It's probably the line before or after. We're not going to go through and pick out every typo you make, that's up to you.

You might want to use the Heredoc method, I find it useful sometimes.

You can use variables double and single quotes in a Heredoc print statement.

Just make sure the last HTML; is on its own line with no whitespace infront of it or it wont work!

Note the HTML can actually be any word (dont want to confuse you).

Read the PHP Manual Print page for more information.

 

print <<<HTML;
<BR><BR>
<table bordercolor="#F2DC77" border="1" align="center" width="600" cellpadding="1">
<form name="frmSearch" action="UpdateTeletext.php" method="post">
<tr><td bgcolor="#F8BC07" colspan="4" align="center">Record Fields...</td></tr>
<td>OfferID:    <input type="text" value="$row['Offer ID']" name="OfferID"/></td>
<tr><td align="center">Price:    <input type="text" name="Price" /></td>
<td align="center">Flight:   <input type="text" name="FLIGHTS" /></td>
<td align="center">Accom:    <input type="text" name="ACCOM" /></td>
<td align="center">Total:   <input type="text" name="TOTAL" /></td></tr>
