I have a PHP function that I'm using to output a standard block of HTML
<?php function test () { ?>
echo(" <html>
<body><h1> HELLO </h1> </body>
</html>
<?php } ?>
but i see the string of HTML and not the page I have see this Is there any way to return HTML in a PHP function? (without building the return value as a string)
if you use SLIM framework change the content type:
$app->contentType('application/json');
to:
$app->contentType('text/html');
then use render function of slim instance with specific template or simply echo html string
you have to do
<?php
function text() {
echo '<html><body><h1>Hello</h1></body></html>';
}
?>
But in addition this is not the base valid structure of a page. You're missing the <head /> tag.
Try this:
<?php
function test ()
{
echo '<html><body><h1> HELLO </h1> </body></html>' ;
}
?>
Try this:
<?php
function text() {
return '<html><body><h1>Hello</h1></body></html>';
}
?>
and where you need it just:
<?php echo text(); ?>
Try out this:
<?php
function test()
{
$html = '<html>';
$html .= '<body>';
$html .= '<h1>Hello</h1>';
$html .= '</body>';
$html .= '</html>';
echo $html;
//or
return $html;
}
?>
In PHP you have something called heredoc which lets you write large amounts of text from within PHP, but without the need to constantly escape things. The syntax is <<<EOT [text here] EOT;
So in your case you can have the function return the text like this
function test() {
return <<<EOT
<html>
<body><h1>HELLO</h1></body>
</html>
EOT;
}
Then just call function test to get the contents
echo test();
