note 58294 added to function.echo

Just a quick show of the basics - a detail people often miss. Your script will work if you do this: <?php if(true){?> <b>This shows up</b> <?php } if(false){?> <b>This does not show up</b> <?php }?> This shows the HTML in Dreamweaver's preview, so it's ideal for editing, there's no hinderance for long outputs, and of course, no quote escaping. The obvious annoyance is typing <?php echo $variable;?> for variable outputs, but it's worth the ease of HTML editing (plus Dreamweaver has an 'echo' shortcut in the PHP menu) http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.php ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.echo.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+58294 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58294&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58294&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58294&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58294&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58294&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58294&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58294&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+58294&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
