Getting around backslashing " in PHP

[FlashNewby]

Hi,
As a developer I do a fair amount of JSP and Java development and want to learn PHP. The problem I have with it is that you have to backslash all the quotes in the html. This reminds me when I started out doing servlets and had to backslash quotes(this was before I found jsp) this is very annoying. Does anyone know a way around this.

Thanks

use single quotes for one and double for the other...like

echo '<foo class="foo"></foo>';

Yes that is the only way really. You can switch between one or the other, i prefer the opposit for some reason but that's just me :P

Syko does this work only with the echo method or will this work also with using print?

that works with everything

Alternatively, you could use Heredoc syntax (http://dk2.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.sy ntax.heredoc) :)
