learn how to code html :/
http://www.w3schools.com

and when outputting a long string of html, its faster to exit php (?>), output the code (with <?php echo $var;?> to echo the vars) and then reenter php (<?php)

lol, I know how to code html, I was on about doing it inside PHP tags rather than out side I find it a lot easier to put

PHP:

<?php

echo "<font face='verdana'>This works fine</font><hr color='#ff7f00' size='1'>";

?>

Instead of using the following..

PHP:

<?php

echo "<font face=\"verdana\">Or what ever!</font><hr color=\"#ff7f00\" size=\"1\">";

?>

I find the last one hard to remember most times lol .. so i use ' easier and outputs same results.. Many attempts at my scripts with html inside of php use the ' instead of \"

Some ppl find one way good and others different ..

If the output is the same, who cares.. lol

why dont you just do
[php]<?php
echo '<font face="verdana">Or what ever!</font><hr color="#ff7f00" size="1">';
?> [php]

use single quotes for php strings and double quotes for html attributes.. only double quotes are valid in html, even if somes browsers treats single ones as double ones, its not EVERY browsers that do so

Re: Retarded Code

PHP:

<?php

mysql_connect("localhost","soaxorg_funkydwa","pwd"); 
mysql_select_db("soaxorg_articles"); 
$result = mysql_query("select * from `thingo`"); 
while($r=mysql_fetch_array($result)) 
{     
  
    $name=$r["name"]; 
    $email=$r["email"]; 
    $id=$r["id"]; 
    $realname=$r["firstname"]; 
        $site=$r["site"]; 
          $icq=$r["icq"]; 
    $aim=$r["aim"]; 
    $msn=$r["msn"]; 
    $location=$r["location"]; 
    $interests=$r["interests"]; 
        $sig=$r["sig"]; 

$printthis = <<<end_of_string
<tr> 
    <td> 
      <div align="center"><font face="Verdana" size=1>$name</font></div>
    </td>
    <td> 
      <div align="center"><font face="Verdana" size=1> $email
        </font></div>
    </td>
    <td>
      <div align="center"><font face="Verdana"size=1>$site</font></div>
    </td>
    <td> 
      <div align="center"><font face="Verdana" size=1>$date</font></div>
    </td>
    <td> 
      <div align="center"><font face="Verdana" size=1>$forumposts</font></div>
    </td>
    <td> 
      <div align="center"><font face="Verdana" size=1>$num_rowsg</font></div>
    </td>
  </tr>
end_of_string;
echo $printthis
 
}

  
echo '</table>';
?>

this is the easiest way to do it -- no worries about escaping or anything. variables are parsed, " is usable without escapes, as are '

why did you put the content into a variable before immediately printing it?
