In php to write on a new line just do

PHP Code:


echo "some text \n more text on another line"

Note : This will make a new line in the source code. If you want a new line on the screen you need to replace the \n by <br>
You don't need to escape $ and < in php. Just " or ' and \ I think

Also,

If your in a conditional loop I think this works (although I haven't tried it)

<?php
if(some_condition) {//write if condition is true
?>

<table border="5" cellpadding="1">
<tr><td>This is the life, I'm going to write a backslash \.</td></tr>
</table>

<?php
}// end writing
else {// begin writing for false condition
?>

Nope ain't gonna do it! OK?

<?php
}// end false condition writing
?>

It does work

And not only in conditions, just anywhere

Additionally, perhaps the heredoc syntax is suited to your needs. Although it parses variables still... have a look at

You an also just exit out of the PHP block and print HTML directly (which is, technically, faster than doing ECHO, from a machine speed/time point of view). Of course, then you are going to have to enclose any of your variables with <?= and ?>.

PHP Code:


<?

    //preceding code, if any

    if ($c['noticestat']) {

    //html block

?>

    <html lang="en_US">

        <head>

            <title><?=$title['curvar'];?></title>

        </head>

        <body bgcolor="#000000" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0">

            <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" height="100%">

                <tr>

                    <td width="100%" height="100%" align="center" valign="middle" class="noticeTxt"><?=$c['noticemess'];?><br/>

                    <br/>.( <?=$c['sitename'];?> ).</td>

                </tr>

            </table>

        </body>

    </html>

<?

    }

    //back to PHP

    //additional code, if any

?>

Edit : evil missing bracket!

That "exiting" PHP is a good idea and solves my problem, for a part, but I'd also like to know if there's a way in wich I don't have to escape "...

Thanks to all of you for your help.

Yup, this can be done... like so

PHP Code:


echo<<<code

<form name="edit=web"  method="post" action="edit_Prem_table.php?edit=1&id=<?=row[id];?>">                        

  <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

    <tr> 

      <td valign="middle" width="20%"> 

        <div align="center">

code;

print $row["team"];

echo<<<code

</div>

      </td>

      <td width="20%" valign="middle"> 

        <div align="center"> 

          <input type="text" class="formfield" name="newplayed" size="2" value="

code;

Hope that is clear... the code thingcan be anyhting!
