Question

Something is wrong with my print "<option value...";
line of php code.

It keeps generating error messages:
an attribute value specification must be an attribute value literal unless SHORTTAG YES is specified

<option value = Addition>Addition</option>
<and so on...>

Okay, so how do i fix this line of code:

//foreach loop to cycle through the array
      foreach ($testFiles as $myFile)
      {
        $fileBase = substr($myFile, 0, strlen($myFile) - 5);
       **//Problem here:**
        print "<option value = $fileBase>$fileBase</option>\n";
      } // end foreach

such that’s it’s html compliant, the php code works fine, I just need validation on the html, cause you can’t validate php, and the variable $fileBase references an html file, in this case Addition would be one of the files allotted to $fileBase.

Answer 1

print "<option value = \"$fileBase\">$fileBase</option>\n";

Should do it
