Re: [PHP] Assign variable to a block of html code

Re: [PHP] Assign variable to a block of html code
You could just swap all the double quotes in the HTML tags for single quotes - that would work in this instance... $myblokvar = table width='487' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' ... /table ; Or perhaps a HereDoc syntax: $myblokvar = EndOfMyHTMLBlock table width=487 border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 ... /table EndOfMyHTMLBlock; Then you don't need to worry about what quotes you use, and if you start putting stuff like onclick events in you can mix quotes up happily ... I go to great lengths to avoid escaping quotes - it just looks ugly. That is, however, a personal foible.

The HEREDOC syntax behave much like the pre HTML tag for PHP, and it also removed the hassle of placing escape tags!
