Is there a way I can get PHP to automatically correctly indent something? For example, make
[php]<?php echo("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"iso-8859-1\"?>\n");?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<title>testing PHP</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
echo("test 1 \n");
echo("test 2\n");
?>
</body>
</html>[/php]

output

(Toggle Plain Text)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
	<head>
		<title>testing PHP</title>
	</head>
	<body>
		test 1<br/>
		test 2
	</body>
</html>

instead of

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

PHP is echoing precisely what you told it to. If it did otherwise, you'd probably like it less. Since the PHP isn't in force when you established your pattern, how's it to know? You'd have as much right expecting the renderer or the server to handle it, which is little to none.

I am using PHP for my header and footer. I just put what those header and footer functions output so I didn't have to post another PHP file.

This is what your PHP interpreter works with:
[php]echo("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"iso-8859-1\"?>\n");
echo("test 1 \n");
echo("test 2\n");
[/php]

echo("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"iso-8859-1\"?>\n"); 
echo("test 1<br />\n"); 
echo("test 2\n");

there is a space between .

should be this

There's nothing wrong with " ". There's nothing wrong with " ". I realize you are not misleading people intentionally.

demon101 · May 15th, 2006, 10:58 PM

Yes, there's no need for that extra space.

My PHP interpreter starts with:
[php] echo("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"iso-8859-1\"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd\">

<html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" xml:lang=\"en\">
<head>
<title>$title</title>
<link media=\"all\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"/css/all.css\"/>
<link media=\"screen,projection\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"/css/LightOnDark.css\"/>
</head>
<body>\n");[/php]
