Validating issue

[CaptainB]

Hi guys,

I have a little problem which I can't seem to figure out.
This is my code:

<input type="text" name="user" maxlength="30" value="<?php echo $form->value("user"); ?>"><

And this is my error:
… value="<?php echo $form->value("user"); ?>">
Have you forgotten the "equal" sign marking the separation between the attribute and its declared value? Typical syntax is attribute="value".


When I then insert the equal sign I get this error:
Line 60, Column 92: an attribute value literal can occur in an attribute specification list only after a VI delimiter.
… value="<?php echo $form->value("user"); ?>">
Have you forgotten the "equal" sign marking the separation between the attribute and its declared value? Typical syntax is attribute="value".


I tried to do that too, but it still does not work. Anybody knows how to come around that?

Your PHP isn’t being parsed?
Have you got the PHP file extension on the document?

Yeah, my PHP is being parsed, but it just won't validate with W3C the way it's written. So, I wondered if there was a way to make i validate?

Get the PHP parsed and validate that document. It’s more precise live. Or you could just replace the instructions with ‘placeholder’ values in the meantime.
Note that the W3C is a HTML validator and won’t process programming languages—they must output the pure HTML before it will make sense to it.

So, basically, don’t upload a local .php document, as that still has instructions to the PHP processor which the validator can’t recognize.

Ah, of course... Why didn't I think of that. Thanks :thumbsup:
