Re: dhtml within php

You've got some major syntax problems there, the most obvious of which is starting a new print() tag without closing the first one. You also needed to rethink the syntax of all your quotes, as there are/were a great many problems in the link portion alone. I've included below a slightly edited piece of your code to get you on the right track. I recommend that you look very closely at that quote syntax, as what I gave you isn't perfect, either, but at least this will display *something* if you take it out of the for() loop. <? for($i = 1; $i=$tableLayout->ntab;$i++) { print '<div id="Tab[$i]" class="tab" style="position:absolute; left:80*[$i]px; top:185px; width:80px; height:20px; z-index:1; visibility:visible">'; print '<a href="\'Tab[$i]\',\'Folder[$i]\'">Table 1</a></div>'; } ?> Edward Dudlik Becoming Digital www.becomingdigital.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robbie Staufer" <rstaufer@scd.ucar.edu> To: <php-db@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, 22 May, 2003 17:01 Subject: [PHP-DB] dhtml within php Hello, I'm working on a web page that displays the tables of a database and their contents. The php script for accessing the database and displaying the tables is in place. Now I want to manipulate the web page layout so that the db tables are displayed in a series of folders with tabs, with the current table being visible. I can't get the right syntax for printing out <div>s within a php loop. Here's what I have ... for($i = 1; $i=$tableLayout->ntab;$i++) { // create tabs print('<div id="Tab[$i]" class="tab" style="position:absolute; left:80*[$i]px; top:185px; width:80px; height:20px; z-index:1; visibility:visible"> <a href="javascript:turnOn('Tab[$i]','Folder[$i]')">Table 1</a> print('</div>'); The code for the folders containing the db tables is similar. The function turnOn() is defined in the header, along with a javascript function for switching tabs and tables when the user clicks a tab. Is this a big syntax problem, or do I need to take a different approach?
