FUNCTIONS.PHP

<?php
    function global_header($page)
    {
        echo "
        <!doctype html>
        <html lang='en'>
        <head>
            <meta charset='utf-8' />
            <title>" . $page . "</title>
            <meta name='description' content='BTI320 Assignment 2' />
        </head>
            <body>
        ";
    }
?>
<?php
    function global_footer()
    {
        echo "
            </body>
        </html>
        ";
    }
?>

When I view my page source in chrome/FF I get the following source:

    <!doctype html>
    <html lang='en'>
    <head>
        <meta charset='utf-8' />
        <title>Add</title>
        <meta name='description' content='BTI320 Assignment 2' />
    </head>
        <body>

        </body>
    </html>

It’s indented by about 3 tabs. Is there a PHP strip function or something that can align it properly? I don’t like my entire pages HTML being messed up.

My expected output is to not be indented.

    The reason you are getting indented outputs is that you are echoing them like that…
    Simply remove the indentaions from the echo statements to get rid of them

    <?php
    function global_header($page)
    {
        echo "
<!doctype html>
<html lang='en'>
<head>
<meta charset='utf-8' />
<title>" . $page . "</title>
<meta name='description' content='BTI320 Assignment 2' />
</head>
<body>";
    }
?>
<?php
    function global_footer()
    {
        echo "
</body>
</html>";
    }
?>

    This makes your php harder to follow fut the output will be as you requested
