What's wrong with this line?

Frihost Forum Index -> Scripting -> Php and MySQL

Code:

fwrite($fp, "<tr>\n<td class=/"entrant_list/">\n".$wifin."</td>\n</tr>\n");

I haven't used PHP in over a year, so give me a break if I made some really stupid error. Smile

I get an error saying "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING". I think that has something to do with the \n things mixing with the html I'm trying to write, but I don't know how to fix it. Can someone help me out?

Thanks.

You want

Code:

fwrite($fp, "<tr>\n<td class=\"entrant_list\">\n$wifin</td>\n</tr>\n");

Code:

fwrite($fp, '<tr>\n<td class="entrant_lis\">\n'.$wifin.'</td>\n</tr>\n');

Escapes are \, not / - but if you're using string concatenation ("foo"."bar") instead of variable substitution you can use single-quotes around the whole thing instead.

Well, I think I got what you're saying, so I tried this:

fwrite($fp, '<tr>\n<td class="entrant_list">\n'.$fc.'</td>\n</tr>\n');

But when I did that, it wrote the actual text "\n" to the file I'm writing to. \n is supposed to signify a new line I thought?

Use simplyw00x's first example. \n and \r nned to be in double quotes from what I remember.

Congratulations me for forgetting that \n *is* an escaped sequence. Hur hur.

No, just use double quotes. "\\n" would print "\n" if you actually wanted that.
