Re: HTML in PHP to a File

*Warning* I don't really suggest that you use eval() unless absolutely necessary. But in this case it does what I *think* you want it to do. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.eval.php Luis Moreira wrote:

What do you mean by "it doesn't work" ? It does (the minitest, I mean). Luis MikeA wrote:

I have a PHP file that outputs HTML to the Internet to a user. The user also wants to be able to print that output to a printer. The user wants it formatted with page breaks in the proper place and so on. Using one PHP script to do both, short of a line to display and a line to print, is there a way to do this easily or am I in a pond of alligators? Most of the output is using an echo statement. I thought of trying to take a var and set it top echo or write according to what is needed at that time. Here is my minitest. <?php echo "<P>The test is starting"; $echowrite = "echo "; $echowrite."<P>This is the first line.";

eval ($echowrite);

echo "<P>You should have seen the first line by now."; ?>
