[FX.php List] Embed php into HTML or vice versa?

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Hmmm... so how would you do that for the foreach statement?...


		<?php foreach($searchResult['data'] as $key => $value)
    		{
		echo "<tr class=\"ver12\"><td><ahref=\"famdetail.php?recid=";
  	 	$recordDetails=explode('.',$key);
		$currentRecord=$recordDetails[0];
		echo $currentRecord."\">".$value['FamilyName'][0];
  		echo "</a></td>";
  		}
		?>
