[SOLVED] get php to print html doc line by line

pizzipie · 12-07-2019, 07:32 PM

Just beginning to try to create a PHP form generator. Php ends up producing all one string.

Code:

<?php
set_include_path( '../../include' );
error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

$str=<<<eot

&lt!DOCTYPE html&gt

&lthtml&gt

&lthead&gt

&ltmeta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /&gt`
	
&lttitle&gtCreate phpadmin() style SQL box - using dynamic html creation &lt/title&gt

&lt!-- ============== styles  ================ --&gt

&ltlink rel="stylesheet " type="text/css" href="css/query.css" /&gt

&lt!--  &ltlink rel="stylesheet " type="text/css" href="css/polly.css" /&gt  --&gt

&lt!-- ============== scripts1 ================ --&gt

&ltscript  type="text/javascript" src="../../jquery/jquery-2.1.1.js"&gt&lt/script&gt
&ltscript type="text/javascript" src="insertAtCaret.js"&gt&lt/script&gt
&ltscript type="text/javascript" src="connect.js"&gt&lt/script&gt

Result

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />` <title>Create phpadmin() style SQL box - using dynamic html creation </title> <!-- ============== styles ================ --> <link rel="stylesheet " type="text/css" href="css/query.css" /> <!-- <link rel="stylesheet " type="text/css" href="css/polly.css" /> --> <!-- ============== scripts1 ================ --> <script type="text/javascript" src="../../jquery/jquery-2.1.1.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="insertAtCaret.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="connect.js">

If you are outputting to a text file, append '[ampersand]#10;' to each place you want a newline.

If outputting to a web document, append '<br>'

NOTE TO JEREMY:
How can i get an ampersand to print in my first line? (See this thread)

(Made some tests with & symbols, their behaviour seems to be a bit inconsistent, specially after editing the post)

OK, back to the OP's question:

If you are outputting to a text file, append

Code:

&#10;

to each place you want a newline.

If outputting to a web document, append

Code:

&lt;br&gt;

You shoud also probably terminate your ampersand tags with a semicolon, thus

Code:

&lt;

(Thanks to pan64 in this thread for advice in printing an ampersand in an LQ post)
