[php] php & mysql query not echoing in html with tags?

<?php require 'db.php'; ?>  <?php if (isset($_POST['search'])) { $limit = $_POST['limit']; $country = $_POST['country']; $state = $_POST['state']; $city = $_POST['city']; $data = mysqli_query($link,"SELECT * FROM proxies WHERE country = '{$country}' AND state = '{$state}' AND city = '{$city}' LIMIT {$limit}"); while( $assoc = mysqli_fetch_assoc($data)){ $proxy = $assoc['proxy']; echo '<<!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"> <head> <title>Sock5Proxies</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" /> <link href="./style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <link href="./buttons.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <center> <h1>Sock5Proxies</h1> </center> <body> <div id="wrapper">     <div id="header">         <ul id="nav">            <li class="active"><a href="index.html"><span></span>Home</a></li>             <li><a href="leads.html"><span></span>Leads</a></li>             <li><a href="payout.php"><span></span>Pay out</a></li>             <li><a href="contact.html"><span></span>Contact</a></li>             <li><a href="logout.php"><span></span>Logout</a></li>         </ul>     </div>     <div id="content">         <div id="center">             <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width:690px">                 <thead>                     <tr>                         <th width="75" class="first">Proxy</th>                         <th width="50" class="last">Status</th>                     </tr>                 </thead>                 <tbody>                     <tr class="rowB">                         <td class="first"> <?php echo $proxy ?> </td>                         <td class="last">Check</td>                     </tr>                 </tbody>             </table>         </div>     </div>     </center>     </center>     <div id="footer"></div>     <span id="about">Version 1.0</span> </div>  </body> </html>'; } } ?> <html> <form action="" method="POST"> <input type="text" name="limit" placeholder="10"/><br> <input type="text" name="country" placeholder="Country"/><br> <input type="text" name="state" placeholder="State"/><br> <input type="text" name="city" placeholder="City"/><br> <input type="submit" name="search" value="Search" /><br> </form> </html> 

I'm receiving no errors now on line 47, this is supposed to be printing out my query, it works without the html & styling, before you ask yes the theme does work, as of style.css.

This question is related to php

The answer is


You need to append your variables to the echoed string. For example:

echo 'This is a string '.$PHPvariable.' and this is more string'; 

<td class="first"> <?php echo $proxy ?> </td> is inside a literal string that you are echoing. End the string, or concatenate it correctly:

<td class="first">' . $proxy . '</td>


Change <?php echo $proxy ?> to ' . $proxy . '.

You use <?php when you're outputting HTML by leaving PHP mode with ?>. When you using echo, you have to use concatenation, or wrap your string in double quotes and use interpolation.


I can spot a few different problems with this. However, in the interest of time, try this chunk of code instead:

<?php require 'db.php'; ?>  <?php if (isset($_POST['search'])) {     $limit = $_POST['limit'];     $country = $_POST['country'];     $state = $_POST['state'];     $city = $_POST['city'];     $data = mysqli_query(         $link,         "SELECT * FROM proxies WHERE country = '{$country}' AND state = '{$state}' AND city = '{$city}' LIMIT {$limit}"     );     while ($assoc = mysqli_fetch_assoc($data)) {         $proxy = $assoc['proxy'];         ?>             <!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">                 <head>                     <title>Sock5Proxies</title>                     <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />                     <link href="./style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />                     <link href="./buttons.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />                 </head>                 <body>                     <center>                         <h1>Sock5Proxies</h1>                     </center>                     <div id="wrapper">                         <div id="header">                             <ul id="nav">                                 <li class="active"><a href="index.html"><span></span>Home</a></li>                                 <li><a href="leads.html"><span></span>Leads</a></li>                                 <li><a href="payout.php"><span></span>Pay out</a></li>                                 <li><a href="contact.html"><span></span>Contact</a></li>                                 <li><a href="logout.php"><span></span>Logout</a></li>                             </ul>                         </div>                         <div id="content">                             <div id="center">                                 <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width:690px">                                     <thead>                                     <tr>                                         <th width="75" class="first">Proxy</th>                                         <th width="50" class="last">Status</th>                                     </tr>                                     </thead>                                     <tbody>                                     <tr class="rowB">                                         <td class="first"> <?php echo $proxy ?> </td>                                         <td class="last">Check</td>                                     </tr>                                     </tbody>                                 </table>                             </div>                         </div>                         <div id="footer"></div>                         <span id="about">Version 1.0</span>                     </div>                 </body>             </html>         <?php     } } ?> <html> <form action="" method="POST">     <input type="text" name="limit" placeholder="10" /><br>     <input type="text" name="country" placeholder="Country" /><br>     <input type="text" name="state" placeholder="State" /><br>     <input type="text" name="city" placeholder="City" /><br>     <input type="submit" name="search" value="Search" /><br> </form> </html>
