I want to echo out a simple Facebook like button script in PHP, but it wont let me. Here's what the script would look like:
<?php
echo " <td>'<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"></script><fb:like href="http://#" layout="button_count" show_faces="false" width="450" font=""></fb:like>'</td>\n" ;
echo " <td>".$row['item_content']."</td>\n";
?>
Is this the complete code? Better is not to echo
it at all:
<td>
<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"></script>
<fb:like href="http://#" layout="button_count" show_faces="false" width="450" font=""></fb:like>
</td>
<td><?php echo $row['item_content']; ?></td>
Embed PHP in HTML, not vice versa.
You have to properly escape your quotation marks.
Everytime you are using a double-quote ("
) in a double-quoted string, you must prepend it with a backslash (\
) as such:
echo " <td>'<script src=\"http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1\"></script><fb:like href=\"http://#\" layout=\"button_count\" show_faces=\"false\" width=\"450\" font=\"\"></fb:like>'</td>\n";
echo " <td>".$row['item_content']."</td>\n";
Alternatively, you could single-quote ('
) the whole string, but note that in single-quoted strings, the only escape sequences recognized are \'
and \\
. In-line variables are also not recognized.
echo ' <td>\'<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"></script><fb:like href="http://#" layout="button_count" show_faces="false" width="450" font=""></fb:like>\'</td>' ;
echo "\n <td>".$row['item_content']."</td>\n";
For more information, please read the PHP Documentation page on Strings:

Try this, you must escape some symbols
<?php
echo ' <td>\'<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"></script><fb:like href="http://#" layout="button_count" show_faces="false" width="450" font=""></fb:like>\'</td>\n';
echo " <td>".$row['item_content']."</td>\n";
?>
