Why does this if statement have each of its conditionals wrapped in PHP tags?
<?php if(!is_null($sel_subject)) { //subject selected? ?>
<h2><?php echo $sel_subject["menu_name"]; ?></h2>
<?php } elseif (!is_null($sel_page)) { //page selected? ?>
<h2><?php echo $sel_page["menu_name"]; ?></h2>
<?php } else { // nothing selected ?>
<h2>Select a subject or a page to edit</h2>
<?php } ?>
分享 Because there is html used. Jumping between PHP and HTML is called escaping.
But I recommend you not to use PHP and HTML like this. May have a look to some template-systems e.g. Smarty or Frameworks with build-in template-systems like e.g. Symfony using twig.
Sometimes its ok if you have a file with much HTML and need to pass a PHP variable.
Sample
<?php $title="sample"; ?>
<html>
<title><?php echo $title; ?></title>
<body>
</body>
</html>
This is not much html but a sample how it could look like.
That sample you provided us should more look like....
<?php
if(!is_null($sel_subject))
{ //subject selected?
$content = $sel_subject["menu_name"];
}
else if (!is_null($sel_page))
{ //page selected?
$content = $sel_page["menu_name"];
}
else
{ // nothing selected
$content = "Select a subject or a page to edit";
}
echo "<h2>{$content}</h2>";
?>
You could echo each line of course. I prefer to store this in a variable so I can easy prevent the output by editing one line in the end and not each line where I have added a echo.
According to some comments i did a approvement to the source :)
