Hello Folks,

I would like to be able to wrap a 'form' inside a php 'if statement' - so
that the form will appear if the 'if condition' is met.

- most likely I cannot have a <?php tag inside another one - and am sure
I'm doing other things wrong also...
- now I get the error - Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in...

Q: What is the best way to accomplish this goal?


-----------------------

<?php if ($emp_row->getField('testfield') !="") {
print "<form name="edit" method="post" action="emp_edit_result2.php">
<input type="hidden" name="Status" value="Active"/>
<input type="hidden" name="The_Date" value=""/>
<input type="hidden" name="-recid" value="<?php echo
$emp_row->getRecordId(); ?>">
<input type="submit" name="edit_submit" value="Activate">
</form>

";}else {print "Non Print";} ?>

something like this,

<?php if($emp_row->getField('testfield') != '') { ?>
<form name="edit" method="post" action="emp_edit_result2.php">
<input type="hidden" name="Status" value="Active" />
<input type="hidden" name="The_Date" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="-recid" value="<?php echo
$emp_row->getRecordId(); ?> />
<input type="submit" name="edit_submit" value="Activate" />
</form>
<?php } ?>

Your first mistake I'm finding is the use of quotes. You started the print
with a ", which means the print ends at name=", and it's expecting more PHP
code, rather than a HTML string. The first fix would be to either escape all
quotes in the HTML with a slash (\) before it, or to change your opening and
closing quotes on the print to a single quote (').
Second, yes, you cannot enclose PHP tags inside PHP tags. To do this,
change that portion to end the print, attach the two portions with a period
(.) and start up with the php function, then a period, and back to the
print.

Here's a fix that should work. I haven't tested it though, so I may have
missed one or two quotes.

<?php if ($emp_row->getField('testfield') !="") {
print "<form name=\"edit\" method=\"post\"
action=\"emp_edit_result2.php\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"Status\" value=\"Active\"/>
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"The_Date\" value=\"\"/>
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"-recid\" value=\""$emp_row->getRecordId()."\">
<input type=\"submit\" name=\"edit_submit\" value=\"Activate\">
</form>

";}else {print "Non Print";} ?>

Thank you everybody for these great tips!

Here's how I'd do it.

<?php
$row= $emp_row->getRecordId();//Or, you can put this inside the heredoc with {}

//heredoc
$str= <<<txt
<form name="edit" method="post" action="emp_edit_result2.php">
<input type="hidden" name="Status" value="Active" />
<input type="hidden" name="The_Date" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="-recid" value="$row" />
<input type="submit" name="edit_submit" value="Activate" />
</form>
txt;

if (!empty($emp_row->getField('testfield')) print $str;
else print "Non Print";
?>

Looks like I will be unable to use PHP5 to do a SOAP server. I believe
it was possible to do such a thing in PHP4, but perhaps not as
cleanly. Unfortunately, I am unable to locate the appropriate
documentation on php.net for some reason...perhaps I am just blind.

Can anyone point me to it?

This page:

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.soap.php

seems to apply only to PHP5 and beyond.


Thank you.

is this because you arent able to use php5 in your current situation,
because php can do soap servers in php5.

there was no native support for soap w/ php4. i dont even know if nusoap
offered this, and anyway i didnt really like it nor have i ever heard of a
php4 soap server.

Yes.

I know...I have one working in php5 now.

Thanks.

Apparently, it does.

heredoc is probably the best way to go. There's no way you can mess up your
quotes, and you don't have to worry about escaping. Altough I wonder what
would happen if you put ?> in a heredoc, would it stop processing the php,
thinking that it was the end of the php file, or would it just treat it as a
string still?
