Hi all
Quick php formatting question:
Are there any risks to using a single echo statement with multiple
lines inside the quotes, as follows?
echo ' // START ECHO
<table>
<tr>
<td align="right">Field A: </td>
<td>'.$value['FieldA'][0].'</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">Field B: </td>
<td>'.$value['FieldB'][0].'</td>
</tr>
</table>
'; // END ECHO
I think it was on this list where people once discussed various ways
of switching between html and php code. This way *seems* to be a way
to keep the html looking like html (both in the initial code, and in
the browser's view source), but without needing lots of echo
statements (1 per line), or using "\n", or having to use <?php echo
$value['FieldA'][0]; ?> each time within straight html. I've looked
elsewhere online and haven't found other examples of this, so I'm
wondering if there's a good reason for that.
TIA,
-Joel
