RE: [PHP-DB] Forms error in a catalog by Greenspan & Bulger (sorr y line 33)

I don't know why the example in the book uses the heredoc construct; there appears to be no good reason. I'd replace this: $output = <<<EOQ <form action="$action" $attlist> EOQ; with this: $output = "<form action=\"$action\" $attlist>"; -----Original Message----- From: Darren [mailto:Darren@dixondigital.com] Sent: Saturday, November 03, 2001 4:28 PM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Forms error in a catalog by Greenspan & Bulger (sorry line 33) Sorry for the last post it is line 33 As follows // string start_form ([string action [, array attributes]]) // This function returns an HTML <form> tag.
