Bug #16663 Updated: Different syntax for embedding HTML in PHP
ID: 16663 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Status: Bogus Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.2.0 New Comment: Don't think of it as including HTML in PHP. Think of it as including PHP in HTML. That way you have your block-level delimiters as the standard PHP start/end tags. Whether this is a problem is completely dependant on your point of view. Previous Comments: [2002-04-17 17:39:12] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well, I found another bug report #8685 which clued me in about where to find the documentation for this type of construct, which is a heredoc text entry. Interestingly, the other report was also from someone trying to write readable, block-structured code, and was also classified as bogus. I guess us old guys who were around when Pascal was invented just have some weird ideas about how code should be organized to be people friendly. [2002-04-17 17:00:04] [EMAIL PROTECTED] There is nothing wrong with your alternative except that I can't find info about the contstruct echo HTML some more html HTML in the online documentation. Should I add this to the notes regarding Example 5-2. Advanced escaping on http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.php in the online documentation, since this is apparently an additional method for disabling the PHP parser ? NOTE: I did try to search the online documentation for without any result. I also spoke to a PHP programmer with considerably more experience than me, who was also unfamiliar with this construct. [2002-04-17 16:01:32] [EMAIL PROTECTED] What's wrong with ?php echo Ene mene foobr /\n; echo HTML hr Some more html hr HTML ? Any, unlikely SUCH a change is done. Ever. :-) [2002-04-17 12:29:12] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I can't seem to figure out how to edit the submission, so I can't fix the missing on html [2002-04-17 12:24:55] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Missed the opening on html The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.

The advantage of this style is it makes it easier to see the underlying block structure of the PHP code, yet avoids having to use echo or print to output chunks of HTML code. -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16663edit=1
