I was trying to put html in php echo. I did it perfectly before but i lost the finished script. I put the html in bold.

<?php

define('IN_PHPBB', false);
$phpbb_root_path = '/home/somplan/public_html/forums/';
include($phpbb_root_path . 'extension.inc');
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.'.$phpEx);

//
// Start session management
//
$userdata = session_pagestart($user_ip, PAGE_INDEX);
init_userprefs($userdata);
//
// End session management
//

if ( $userdata['session_logged_in'] ) {
$username = $userdata['username'];
echo ("Welcome $username <a href="http://forums.somplanet.com/logout.php>Log Out</a>"); } else {
echo('
This is where i put the html for the Login Forum
');
}
?>

Code:

echo ("Welcome $username <a href="http://forums.somplanet.com/logout.php>Log Out</a>");

that line i'm almost 100% sure is wrong, i just started php myself but try this out.

Code:

echo "Welcome $username <a href="http://forums.someplanet.com/logout.php>Log Out</a>";

i'm pretty sure the echo will not work if you put () around what your trying to display.

If your going to use " inside a echo you must add a backslash before it.. so it becomes \" or just use ' instead...

The correct code..

PHP Code:


			
<?php



define('IN_PHPBB', false);

$phpbb_root_path = '/home/somplan/public_html/forums/';

include($phpbb_root_path . 'extension.inc');

include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.'.$phpEx);



//

// Start session management

//

$userdata = session_pagestart($user_ip, PAGE_INDEX);

init_userprefs($userdata);

//

// End session management

//





if ( $userdata['session_logged_in'] ) {

$username = $userdata['username'];

echo "Welcome $username <a href=\"http://forums.somplanet.com/logout.php\">Log Out</a>"; } else {

echo "This is where i put the html for the Login Forum";

}

?>

It's ok to put parens () around the echo statement text. And as dark-Skys99 said, you need to put a \ before any double quotes within the echo statement.

I also noticed one thing, although it won't cause any PHP errors, it will make your link bad... your mssing a quote around the href url:

Code:

echo ("Welcome $username <a href=\"http://forums.somplanet.com/logout.php\">Log Out</a>");

I am get a error saying:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/somplan/public_html/test/test1.php on line 21

The final code is :

PHP Code:


			
<?php



define('IN_PHPBB', false);

$phpbb_root_path = '/home/somplan/public_html/forums/';

include($phpbb_root_path . 'extension.inc');

include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.'.$phpEx);



//

// Start session management

//

$userdata = session_pagestart($user_ip, PAGE_INDEX);

init_userprefs($userdata);

//

// End session management

//





if ( $userdata['session_logged_in'] ) {

$username = $userdata['username'];

echo "Welcome $username <a href=\"http://forums.somplanet.com/logout.php\">Log Out</a>"; } else {

Instead of giving yourself a headache using escaped echo statements, just use opening and closing php tags where your desired html output is situated.

For e.g.

PHP Code:


			
<?php



define('IN_PHPBB', false);

$phpbb_root_path = '/home/somplan/public_html/forums/';

include($phpbb_root_path . 'extension.inc');

include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);



//

// Start session management

//

$userdata = session_pagestart($user_ip, PAGE_INDEX);

init_userprefs($userdata);

//

// End session management



if ( $userdata['session_logged_in'] ) 



{



$username = $userdata['username'];



?>



Welcome <?php echo $username; ?> <a href="http://forums.somplanet.com/logout.php">Log Out</a>



<?php



} else {



?>

<form action="http://www.somplanet.com/forums/login.php" method="post" target="_top">

<table style="border-collapse: collapse;" bordercolor="#000000" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" width="230" border="0">

<tbody>

<tr>

<td valign="top" width="100%">

<div>

<center><font face="Arial" size="4">Forum Login</font></center>

<font face="Verdana" size="2">

<input style="border-right: #4682b4 1px solid; border-top: #4682b4 1px solid; font-size: 11px; background: #fff; vertical-align: middle; border-left: #4682b4 1px solid; color: #000000; border-bottom: #4682b4 1px solid; font-family: Trebuchet MS;" type="text" maxlength="40" size="25" value="" name="username"> </div></td></tr>

<tr>

<td valign="top" width="100%">

<div><font face="Verdana" size="2">Password:</font>

<input style="border-right: #4682b4 1px solid; border-top: #4682b4 1px solid; font-size: 11px; background: #fff; vertical-align: middle; border-left: #4682b4 1px solid; color: #000000; border-bottom: #4682b4 1px solid; font-family: Trebuchet MS;" type="password" maxlength="32" size="25" value="" name="password"> </div></td></tr>
