Question

The following works just fine:

var sFirstText=<?php include("first2.html"); ?>;

when first2.html looks like this INCLUDING the double quotes:

"<p>sentence one</p><p>sentence two</p>"

However, if first2.html looks like:

"<p>sentence one</p>
<p>sentence two</p>"

I get an unterminated string literal message. I hope to figure out how I can include the html without first having to remove the carriage return/line feed sequences.

Also, if I remove the double quotes and do:

var sFirstText="<?php include("first2.html"); ?>";

that won’t work, returning a message I haven’t yet been able to comprehend.

Basically I want to get simple html formatting into a field without having to remove the cr/lf sequences.

Answer 1

Try using a \ at the end of the line to continue the string to the next line.
