I am new to php and wondering if I can have something like this:
<?php ... magicFunctionStart(); ?> <html> <head>...</head> <body>...</body> </html> <?php $variable = magicFunctionEnd(); ... ?>
What I have to use right now is
<?php ... $variable = "<html><head>...</head><body>...</body></html>" ?>
Which is annoying and not readable.
You can store the html in the variable and use it whenever you'd like. You're not forced to echo it until you need it... In order to store the html into the internal buffer with ob_start(); i need to generate and echo it.
PHP cannot "call an HTML control". If you want to dynamically modify things in the browser, you'll have to do it client-side using Javascript. It is client-side, so you have to use Javascript, not PHP.
Using echo or print: PHP echo or print can be used to display HTML markup, javascript, text or variables.
Step 1: Firstly, we have to type the Html code in any text editor or open the existing Html file in the text editor in which we want to use the PHP. Step 2: Now, we have to place the cursor in any tag of the <body> tag where we want to add the code of PHP. And, then we have to type the start and end tag of PHP.
Have you tried "output buffering"?
<?php ... ob_start(); ?> <html> <head>...</head> <body>...<?php echo $another_variable ?></body> </html> <?php $variable = ob_get_clean(); ... ?>
