Using semi-colons & other characters in a Print line.

Photics · #1 08-21-2005, 07:20 PM

How do I put this in a PHP script without screwing everything up?

Code:

<style fprolloverstyle>A:hover {text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: bold}</style>

The line it's supposed go into is this one...

Code:

print "</head><body>";

...just after the first quotation mark.

But whenever I use a Left Curly Bracket

wait a minute...

I think I figured it out...

I'll let you know if it works. :)

Nope... didn't work... it just laughed at me.

I tried calling the Left & Right Curly Brackets by their ASCII code...

...but it just pointed at me and laughed. HA HA HA HA HA... PHPNOOB! :lol:

Heh... and here's what's funny... I wanted to put the ASCII code here, but it translated it into a curly bracket :P

I'm not sure, but check out http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp . that may be some help.

Nope... that didn't help me. There sure were a lot of ads though. :D

What kind of result are you getting? ie "page not found" or blank window or what? Are you actually having an html issue or a php issue? Sad but I know more about php than html. Not that I know much about php either.

I am not exactly clear on what the problem is but perhaps instead of putting your html header info after <?php or just <? whatever your using just put your header information before your php code.

Code:

{junk before php code}

<?php
{junk in php code}
?>

{more junk not in the php code section}

if you type html code outside of a php tag ex:

Code:

</head>
<style type="css/text">a:hover {font-weight: bold;}</script>
<body>
<?php
My Code Goes in here;
?>

it's the same as putting it in a print command, except you don't have to wory about escape characters for quotes or curly braces ;)

for further refference, if you want to use a character that you normaly wouldn't be able to, you just put in a backslash \ in front of it

ex: \{ or \"

(I'm not 100% sure about the curly braces needing an escape character)

I tried putting the slash before the Brace. It just mocked me! :lol:

I'm not sure I understand your question, but if you're trying to write out a curly brace in HTML, I could point you at http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm

This site lists the various html codes used to represent ASCII characters. For example, if you want to display an opening curly brace in your HTML code, use

Code:

 & # 1 2 3 ;

without the spaces. I added the spaces because the board kept displaying an opening curly brace instead of the text itself :) I hope I understood your question correctly.

I tried using the ASCII equivilant... it didn't work.

But here's the weird thing... I just pasted in the code and it worked... weird!

Code:

	print "<style fprolloverstyle>A:hover {text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: bold}</style></head><body>";
