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

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Kevin,

I have yet to delve into smarty.php, but this is an example of my 
html embedded into php:  Just to be clear, I'm barely out of the 
"very thankful" stage I can at least get the code to work. ;-)   It 
can take a lot of time to locate that missing syntax error.

J


		<?php foreach($searchResult['data'] as $key => $value)
    		{//start for each
    
		echo "<tr class=\"ver12\"><td><ahref=\"famdetail.php?recid=";

  	 	$recordDetails=explode('.',$key);
		$currentRecord=$recordDetails[0];
		echo $currentRecord."\">".$value['FamilyName'][0];
  		echo "</a></td>";
  		echo "<td>".$value['StuList'][0]."</td>";
    		echo "<td>".$value['Address1'][0]."</td>";
      		echo "<td>".$value['City'][0]."</td>";
     		echo "<td>".$value['State'][0]."</td>";
	 	echo "<td>".$value['Zip'][0]."</td>";
		echo "<td align=\"right\"><a href=\"editfamorder.php?recid=";
		echo 
$currentRecord."\">$".number_format($value['AmtTotal'][0],'2',".","");
  		echo "</a></td>";
  		echo "<td align=\"right\"><ahref=\"lunchdetail.php?recid=";
		echo 
$currentRecord."\">$".number_format($value['LunchTotalPrice'][0],'2',".","");
  		echo "</a></td>";
		echo "<td 
align=\"center\">".$value['PTAMembership'][0]."</td>";
		echo "</tr>";

		 } //end for each

		?>
