Form tags in blocks

CodyG · Posted: Sat Nov 01, 2003 11:29 am

I think the following "should be a no brainer" just a form pulldown. It was originally an html block... for some reason (mainfile.php?) it isn't translating to 6.9. So, I created a block-file.php. Every time I try to put the form into a table it causes chaos, but rem'ing out the table doesn't get it working either. No errors, just a 2 pixel high empty block.

Maybe I messed something up in my translation from html to php? Or has something changed in nuke 6.9 that won't let me do this? Thanks for any help.

Code:

<?php
if (eregi("block-Pic_A_Page.php",$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}
/* $content = "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" height=\"0\" cols=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"><tr><td width=\"100%\">"; */
$content = "<form method=\"POST\" name=\"navform\">";
$content = "<p align=\"center\"><font size=\"1\"><select name=\"inchoice\" style=\"background-color: #FFCCFF; color=: 669999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11; color: #9900CC; border: 2 solid #9900CC; padding: 3\" size=\"1\">";
$content = "<OPTION selected label=\"none\" value=\"none\">Select New Page</OPTION>";
$content = "<OPTION value=\"none\">************</OPTION>";
$content = "<OPTGROUP label=\"Things to Do 2\">";
$content = "<OPTION value=\"modules.php?name=Members_List\">Members List</OPTION>";
$content = "<OPTION value=\"stats.html\">See Statistics</OPTION>";
$content = "<OPTION value=\"downloads.html\">Download a File</OPTION>";
$content = "<OPTION value=\"recommend.html\">Recommend Us</OPTION>";
$content = "<OPTION value=\"modules.php?name=About\">About LoVI</OPTION>";
$content = "<OPTION value=\"contact.html\">Send Feedback</OPTION></OPTGROUP>";
$content = "</select><b>";
$content = "<input type=\"button\" value=\"GO\" onclick=\"location = ''+ document.navform.inchoice.options[document.navform.inchoice.selectedIndex ].value;\"></b> ";
$content = "</form>";
/* $content = "</td></tr></table>"; */
?>

Instead of doing it that way, use the WHEREDOC syntax so you do not have to quote anything.

Code:

$content = <<<_HTML_
PUT YOUR RAW HTML/JAVASCRIPT CODE HERE
_HTML_;

Make sure there is absolutely nothing except a carriage return after the _HTML_ and _HTML_; tags.

Just as an FYI, in your original code you are resetting $content on every line because you are using
$content =
instead of
$content .=

Those HTML tags worked brilliantly! Thank you.
