how to mix html and php? - richb201 - 01-30-2022

<
I am trying to determine which of these buttons to display based on the num_projects. But the else doesn't seem to work.
<php if ($this->dataStore("cost_center")->get(0,"num_projects")>0 ;?>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success"><i class="fa fa-star"></i> 1. Company</button>
else
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger"><i class="fa fa-star"></i> 1. Company</button>

PHP Code:
<?php if ($this->dataStore("cost_center")->get(0,"num_projects")>0): ?>
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-success"><i class="fa fa-star"></i>  1. Company</button>
<?php else: ?>
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-danger"><i class="fa fa-star"></i>  1. Company</button>
<?php endif ?>

RE: how to mix html and php? - richb201 - 01-31-2022

Thanks. It seems phpStorm doesn't like <?php endif ?> So I tried

<php if ($this->dataStore("cost_center")->get(0,"num_projects")>0 ;?>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success"><i class="fa fa-star"></i> 1. Company</button>
<php else: ?>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger"> <i class="fa fa-star"> 1. Company</button>
<php endif ?>

The actual code is
<div class="small-section">
<php if ($this->dataStore("cost_center")->get(0,"num_projects")>0) ;?>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success"><i class="fa fa-star"></i> 1. Company</button>
<php else: ?>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger"> <i class="fa fa-star"></i> 1. Company</button>
<php endif; ?>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger"><i class="fa fa-lightbulb-o"></i> 2. Activities</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success"><i class="fa fa-magic"></i> 3. Business Components</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-warning"><i class="fa fa-map-marker"></i> 4. Cost Centers</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger"><i class="fa fa-rss"></i> 5. Titles</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-link"><i class="fa fa-link"></i> 6. Projects</button>
</div>

This is displaying the 1. Compnay button twice, once in green and once in red.

I fixed the code above it was missing some of the question marks try it now.

RE: how to mix html and php? - richb201 - 02-03-2022

How about this one? Why is this not working?
<?php
$szValNow="5";
?>
<div class="small-section">
<div class="progress mb-3">
<div class="progress-bar progress-bar-striped" role="progressbar" style="width: 10%" aria-valuenow=<php $szValNow ?> aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
</div>
</div>

RE: how to mix html and php? - Acuru - 02-03-2022

You need to:

Code:
<?php echo $szValNow?>

Code:
<?=$szValNow?>

I am suggesting using second one in views, I feel like it makes code more readable and clean. It works greatly for me.

Slso i would change from:

Code:
$szValNow="5";

(...)

aria-valuenow=<php $szValNow ?>

to:

Code:
$szValNow=5;

(...)

aria-valuenow="<php $szValNow ?>"

Better to keep variables as int than string if possible, in that case it can not make a diffrence, but it is good practice, and with it you can have mathematical operations on variable when it would be needed.

RE: how to mix html and php? - richb201 - 02-03-2022

I modified it to this but it still doesn't work.
<?php
$szValNow=80;
?>
<div class="small-section">
<div class="progress mb-3">
<div class="progress-bar progress-bar-striped" role="progressbar" style="width: 10%" aria-valuenow=<php echo $szValNow ?> aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>
</div>
</div>

RE: how to mix html and php? - Acuru - 02-03-2022

Cause you didn't payed enough attention to what i wroted Wink

It should look

Code:
<?php

$szValNow=80;

?>

<div class="small-section">

<div class="progress mb-3">

<div class="progress-bar progress-bar-striped" role="progressbar" style="width: 10%" aria-valuenow="<?php echo $szValNow ?>" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100"></div>

</div>

</div>

PS pls use forum code markdown it is way more rediable

@richb201 ,

https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php

I started using PHP HereDoc strings and it greatly simplifies mixing PHP and HTML. PHP also has NowDoc strings but I very seldom use that syntax.

Plain variables are expanded within the HereDoc syntax but arrays and expressions must be enclosed in curly braces without spaces. For example

Code:
//========================

// usage:

// fred($string_array_object);

//========================

function debug($val)

{

$val= print_r($val,true);

$sty = ‘width:88%; margin:2rem auto: background-color: snow; color:#000;’:

// NOTHING FOLLOWS ____BLOCK

echo $tmp = <<< ____BLOCK

  <div style=‘$sty’>

$val

</div>

____BLOCK;

// NOTHING AFTER ;

}// endfunc

Because your missing the ? mark in the <php should be <?php
