hi guys what i thought was a simple echo turns out to be unworkable, as it keeps saying an error.
below is the working form:

[code=php]
<form method=”post”>
Bank level: <?php echo $user[‘bank’]; ?> <br />
Next level: <input type=”submit” value=”<?php echo number_format($need_money) ?> money” name=”upgradebank”>
</form>[/code]

@mitchellauthorMar 28.2008 — this is the echo code that doesnt work:

[code=php]
echo ("<form method=/"post/">
Bank level: $user['bank'] <br />
Next level: <input type=/"submit/" value=/" number_format($need_money) money/" name=/"upgradebank/">
</form>");[/code]

@zombieJonesMar 28.2008 — You have your Escape slashes the wrong way..

should be fixed:

echo ("<form method="post">

Bank level: $user['bank'] <br />

Next level: <input type="submit" value=" number_format($need_money) money" name="upgradebank">

</form>");

You can get away with not using quotes for you html attributes. Does that mean that you should?

@YelgnidrocMar 29.2008 — I think bokeh mean that the LAST statement within php tag does not need a semi colon as nothing follows it therefore it's not a delimiter.

Does that mean that you should?[/QUOTE]It's not a case of getting away with something; the delimiter's purpose is to separate two statements, i.e. come between them, not to end a statement, but if you do add an unnecessary one (or more) the compiler will ignore it.
