    Slashes in HTML - problem?!

    Hi there!

    PHP version is 4.2.2

    Sometimes my PHP page loads like this:

    <body bgcolor=\"#FFFF FF\" text=\"#000000\ " leftmargin=\"0\ " topmargin=\"0\"
    marginwidth=\"0 \" marginheight=\" 0\" bottommargin=\" 0\">
    <table height=\"100%\" width=\"770\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0 \"
    cellpadding=\"0 \" align=\"center\ ">
    <tr valign=\"top\" height=\"10\">
    <td>
    <table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0 \" cellpadding=\"0 \">
    <tr valign=\"top\">

    and page is of course displayed wrong.

    However, when I refresh it, I simply get normal view (without any
    backslashes before "):

    <body bgcolor="#FFFFF F" text="#000000" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0"
    marginwidth="0" marginheight="0 " bottommargin="0 ">
    <table height="100%" width="770" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"
    align="center">
    <tr valign="top" height="10">
    <td>
    <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" >
    <tr valign="top">


    What this can be? Sometimes when I refresh it - it shows fine, then wrong,
    then wrong, then fine, then wrong, then fine...

    I really don't understand why this is happening. Any help?

    TIA.

      I don't know why it works sometimes but doesn't sometimes, but I guess
      that you're printing all this using a PHP print() statement, eg
      print("<body bgcolor\"#fffff f\">");

      it's easier to just break out of the code if you're printing a lot of
      html in one go. If you need to insert some php variable in the middle
      then you can just do something like <img src="<?= filePath ?>">

      you can still use it to print html conditionally, eg

      if (variable < 5)
      {
      ?>
      <p>the variable is less than "5", so this html is printing and I
      don't need to escape anything.</p>
      <?
      }

          The easier way:
          print("<body bgcolor='#fffff f'>");

                  It is!

                  We had a nice discussion in de.comm.infosys tems.www.authoring.misc about
                  that. The discussion stopped immediatley when someone look at the
                  documenation and tried the validator at http://validator.w3.org. :-)
