Hey guys. A while ago I asked about the frames/php require thing. After this, I went looked around and started on building the website, located here

So far the code looks something like this:

index.php

<?php


$site_title = "Aberdeen Student Radio";

$page_title = "Demo Page v1";


$main .= '<img src="../../Media/Pix/mm_entertainment_image.jpg" width="100" height="100">';

$main .= "<div>


//formating attempt - see below

Welcome to the ASR demo page


<br>

<br>


Listen in live to FREE internet radio, coming to you from Aberdeen University Campus, Student Radio for you by you!


<br>

<br>


Aberdeen Student Radio is finally here after 12 years of silence, radio is back in Aberdeen!

Dreams of Student Radio are coming true for over 40 DJs who will be filling your ears from now on. Also not forgetting the News, Sports and Student issues teams who will be bringing you what you won't hear anywhere else!


<br>

<br>


ON-AIR 10am till 9pm, Monday to Friday

ON-AIR 10am till 5pm, Saturday

Click on one of the logos at the top of the page to listen during ON-AIR hours.

Well, you are probably going to point plenty of flaws in my code, so feel free to point out all my errors.

Additionally, I was wondering if you could help me out with this question. It probably is answered in a million places online, but not being sure what to google to find it, I'm asking you guys.

In the index.php you will notice I use $main= to type in the text I want displayed. However, I cannot get it to format the code from within index.php. I would use echo but it won't work when already with the $main section. I am also aware I could split it into seperate $main sections however, I'd rather not if possible.

Inserting the code in the index.php page (see above for exact placement):

<font size="20pt">

Welcome to the ASR demo page

</font>

results in:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_LNUMBER in /home/bio-u1/u41am6/PCFILES/public.htm/ASR/PHP/index.php on line 9

The error is displayed within the browser.

So, if you can help with the formating, or have noticed some other stupid rookie thing I've done (probably the whole thing) then please let me know.

Cheers

It has to do with your usage of single ( ' ) and double ( " ) quotes. Without getting into a long explination there are four ways you use quotes:

1. Single-Double
2. Double-Single
3. Single-Escaped Single
4. Double-Escaped Double

I always use choice two. What does this mean? Well as you clearly demonstrate, when you echo something, you can encapsulate the data with a single quote

echo 'CodeCall';

echo "CodeCall";

However, if you are to use quotes inside the main quotes, you would have to alternate the type, or escape. Below are acceptable uses:

1.

echo '<a href="http://www.codecall.net">CodeCall</a>';

echo "<a href='http://www.codecall.net'>CodeCall</a>";

echo '<a href=\'http://www.codecall.net\'>CodeCall</a>';

echo "<a href=\"http://www.codecall.net\">CodeCall</a>";

So if that wasn't clear, you cant use double quotes inside double quotes without escaping them, or replacing them with single quotes.

Well, lets say, the website has changed a little bit since last time!

I decided I didnt really like the way it works. Plus it didnt really work well. Anyways, I got a new version located here: ASR demo v2

Ok, well apart from some images not being right and such, I have a few probs:irritated:.

1 - When changing page, the pages moves :confused:
2 - The contact page likes to replicate itself at the bottom of the page

The website works like this:

The index page is loaded index.php
if there is nothing at end then it loads home.html
other pages are loaded via an address extension: index.php?location=PAGE

INDEX.PHP

1. The page shifts because there is a scroll bar present on the Contact page while there is not a scroll bar present on the home page.

2. Rather than using include() try require_once()
