The use of the $HTML variable is very constraining.

I had to convert an old php script which write HTML code.

In the old version, I used many ?> html code <?php and echo to insert HTML code.

PHP Code:

<?php
// some code

// write HTML :
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
    //<![CDATA[
    var myVar1 = <?php if (isset($myPhpVar1)) { echo $myPhpVar1; } else { echo $myPhpVar1Default; } ?>;
    var myVar2 = <?php if (isset($myPhpVar2)) { echo $myPhpVar2; } else { echo $myPhpVar2Default; } ?>;
    var lenght = 25;
    
    function func(){
        if (lenght><?php echo $lenghtPHP; ?>)
        {
            document.getElementById('myID').value = document.getElementById('myID').value.substring(0,<?php echo $lenghtPHP; ?>);
        }
    }
    //]]>
</script>
<?php

Now I had to write this :

PHP Code:

<?php
    $HTML .= "
                <script type=\"text/javascript\">
                    //<![CDATA[
            ";
    if (isset($myPhpVar1)) {
        $HTML .= "var myVar1 = ".$myPhpVar1.";";
    else
        $HTML .= "var myVar1 = ".$myPhpVar1Default.";";
        
    if (isset($myPhpVar2)) {
        $HTML .= "var myVar2 = ".$myPhpVar2.";";
    else
        $HTML .= "var myVar2 = ".$myPhpVar2Default.";";

    $HTML .= "
                    var lenght = 25;
                    
                    function func(){
                        if (lenght>".$lenghtPHP.")
                        {
                            document.getElementById('myID').value = document.getElementById('myID').value.substring(0,".$lenghtPHP.");
                        }
                    }
                    //]]>
                </script>
            ";
?>

The new version is very hard to read :erm:

Do you know an easier way to convert this script?


For example, is it possible to insert PHP condition into concatenation?

PHP Code:

<?php
$HTML .= "
            <script type=\"text/javascript\">
                //<![CDATA[
                var myVar1 = ". /* PHP condition before concatenation */ ."
                var myVar2 = ". /* PHP condition before concatenation */ ."
                var lenght = 25;
                
                function func(){
                    if (lenght>".$lenghtPHP;")
                    {
                        document.getElementById('myID').value = document.getElementById('myID').value.substring(0,".$lenghtPHP.");
                    }
                }
                //]]>
            </script>
        ";
?>
