Can you not use mouseover code in PHP files? Mine is not working.

<a href="index.php" OnMouseOver="nav_1.src='but_home2.gif'" OnMouseOut="nav_1.src='but_home.gif'"&gt ;<img src="but_home.gif" name="nav_1" border="0"></a><img src="but_gap.gif">

Above is the mouseover code i use.

it's working now. Wierd. It's just a bad coding day for me.

Ok. One more question. well..maybe. How do you use quotes within an echo statement since everything is enclosed in quotes to begin with?

dwilson · 16th February 2003, 07:07 PM

let me rephrase. how do you display quotes within quotes when everything is in quotes to begin with in an echo

UH-Matt · 16th February 2003, 07:08 PM

try " I think the infront makes it echo rather than be part of the code.

dwilson · 16th February 2003, 07:17 PM

it didn't like that.

I ended up including it and then echoing the rest of the page. eewww! lol ;D

try /" then

Best practice is to use single quotes because its faster anyway.
e.g.

Code:

&lt;?php
echo 'Click &lt;a href=&quot;' .  $someVar . '&quot;&gt;Here&lt;/a&gt;';
?&gt;

What looks like triple quotes above is a double quote and a single quote.

dwilson · 16th February 2003, 07:47 PM

ah. didn't know you could do echo ' ';

cool

Just remember when using single quotes it is interpreted as literal. It does not parse the string so you can't put variables in there. This is why it is faster.
