Recommended Posts

I am trying to include HTML in my php page but i keep getting "Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING" Here is my code.

 

<?php
print "<table class="thumbnails" width="998" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"><tr>";
print "More Layouts In This Category";
print  "</tr></table>";
?>

If you use double quotes to enclose your string, you need to escape the double quotes in the string with backslashes. Either use single quotes to enclose the string or use singles quotes within the string. The following four examples are all valid and will produce the same results:

<?php
print "<table class=\"thumbnails\" width=\"998\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"2\"><tr>";
?>

<?php
print '<table class="thumbnails" width="998" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"><tr>';
?>

<?php
print "<table class='thumbnails' width='998' border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='2'><tr>";
?>

<?php
print '<table class=\'thumbnails\' width=\'998\' border=\'0\' cellpadding=\'0\' cellspacing=\'2\'><tr>';
?>

The one you choose is up to you, but I prefer using the formats that don't require the backslash for escaping.
