[SOLVED] multi line string displays blank?

[inactive]

Hey guys,

 

I know I must be doing something really stupid here, but my code below just shows up blank (and I have error reporting to E_ALL, so there's definitely no error ).

 

The weird thing is I have done something similar before and it has worked fine... although that was a different server, so perhaps there is a php config setting somewhere I need to change...

 

Anyway,

 

<?php

$my_var='<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN" "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">
<beans>
    <bean id="csvOrderExtractProcess" class="com.salesforce.lexiloader.process.ProcessRunner" singleton="false">
      <description></description>
        <property name="name" value="adlprocess"/>
        <property name="configOverrideMap">';

echo $my_var;

?>

 

Just returns blank. Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

~Mitch

What do you mean it's blank?  Just that the browser doesn't display anything?  Or that when you view the source code that's sent to the browser, it's blank?

Oh! Gah! Yes I knew I was an idiot.

 

I was testing this output (before writing it to a file) and totally forgot that now its in a browser, it will be treated like mark-up lol...

 

Yes, displays blank in browser, but shows up in the source (as it should).

 

Thanks Don.
