Here an unusual one...
Say i am writing a few lines of code in php script as so...
<?php
echo '<table>';
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td> blah blah </td>';
echo '</tr>';
echo '</table>';
?>
On my html source the code looks like this...
<table><tr><td> blah blah</td></tr></table>
Is there anyway I can get each html tag on a seperate line in the html
source so it is nice and neat (easy readable)?
Thanks

How about :
<?php
$tmp = array();
$tmp[] = '<table>';
$tmp[] = "\t".'<tr>' ;
$tmp[] = "\t\t".'<td > blah blah </td>';
$tmp[] = "\t".'<tr>' ;
$tmp[] = '</table>';
echo implode("\n",$t mp)."\n";
?>
I use similar constructs all the time. It make for nice readable code.

Many ways.
First one (using double quotes and escape sequence \n):
<?php
echo "<table>\n" ;
echo "<tr>\n";
echo "<td> blah blah </td>\n";
echo "</tr>\n";
echo "</table>\n";
?>
or:
<?php
echo "<table>\n<tr>\ n<td> blah blah </td>\n</tr>\n</table>\n";
?>
or:
<?php
echo '<table>'."\n" ;
echo '<tr>'."\n";
echo '<td> blah blah </td>'."\n";
echo '</tr>'."\n";
echo '</table>'."\n";
?>
or escaping to HTML:
<?php
// some PHP code
?>
<table>
<tr>
<td> blah blah </td>
</tr>
</table>
<?php
// other PHP code
?>
or using multiline strings (and double quotes):
<?php
echo "<table>
<tr>
<td> blah blah </td>
</tr>
</table>
";
?>
or (probably) many more.

I suppouse to understand them I need to understand the significance between
doubles quotes and single quotes in php code...
Can any one help? or point me to some text
thanks for your help so far, the hardest part is choosing which one to use
and stick too...
Andy Mak or using multiline strings (and double quotes):
<?php echo "<table> <tr> <td> blah blah </td> </tr> </table> "; ?>
<snip>
That one thats worked for me is as follows... multiline string, with single
quotes. I needed to embed php variables into the string also... as
follows...
echo '<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" >
<tr>
<td><img src="gfx/interface/win_'.$wincol.' _tl.gif" width="10" height="10"
border="0"></td>
<td><img src="gfx/interface/win_'.$wincol.' _t.gif" width="'.$winwi d.'"
height="10" border="0"></td>
<td><img src="gfx/interface/win_'.$wincol.' _tr.gif" width="10" height="10"
border="0"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="gfx/interface/win_'.$wincol.' _l.gif" width="10"
height="'.$winh gt.'" border="0"></td>
<td width="'.$winwi d.'" height="'.$winh gt.'" bgcolor="#39393 9">';

My favorite for large blocks of HTML hasn't been mentioned yet. It is
the "here document" structure for defining a string:
<?php
$something = "blah blah"; # just to show off variable interpolation
echo <<<EOHEREDOC
<table>
<tr>
<td> $something </td>
</tr>
</table>
EOHEREDOC;
?>
Check out 'PHP "Here document" tutorial' with Google. Unfortunately
this form of defining a string is not covered very well in the PHP
manual.
The here document preserves whitespace and newlines, and interpolates
variables in the same way doublequote strings do.

Well, you CAN try to make it nice by yourself, but there's also the
possibility of letting software do that job. With "tidy" one can
prettyprint HTML code and there are possibilities do automagically use
it when sending HTML to the browser. There are extension to PHP that
allow for this. You should read a bit about using the output buffers or
the tidy extension.
As an appetizer, just have a look at this comment: http://de.php.net/manual/en/ref.tidy.php#48981

Right now, over at www.monkeyclaus.org, the following script is
getting to the 9th run through and dying after the line:
echo "...";
You'll admit that is a strange place to die. I've hit refresh several
times and it keeps happening. When I view page source, the last thing
that shows up is the "...". The date doesn't print, nor does the
closing the div tag.
