This script is something i wrote during work, as I often need to do this (concatenate strings via multiple lines so it's clearer). Hopefully you guys like it.
convert html to php code, more of less
def htmlToPHP(varname, html):
if type(varname) != str:
raise TypeError("varname must be string.")
if type(html) == list or type(html) == tuple:
for line in html:
line = addslash(line)
print "%s .= \"%s\\n\";" % (varname, line)
elif type(html) == str:
htmlToPHP(varname, html.split("\n"))
else:
raise TypeError("html must be string or list of strings")
def addslash(string):
string = string.strip()
i = 0
while i < len(string):
index = string.find('"', i)
if index != -1:
string = string[0:index] + "\\" + string[index:]
else:
break
i = index + 2
return string
t = '''<a href="test.php">some link</a>
<h1 class="small">Something</h1>'''
htmlToPHP("$txt", t)
# outputs:
# $txt .= "<a href=\"test.php\">some link</a>\n";
# $txt .= "<h1 class=\"small\">Something</h1>\n";

Had to code it myself to understand what it does better, here my simple version. It could be put to function with parameters t and var, of course. I left out the unpythonic type stuff. I understand your desire of flexibility, but maybe readability suffers.
t = '''<a href="test.php">some link</a>
<h1 class="small">Something</h1>'''
var = "$txt"
for outp in ('%s .= \"%s\\n\";' %(var, line.replace('"','\\"')) for line in t.split('\n')):
print outp
# outputs:
# $txt .= "<a href=\"test.php\">some link</a>\n";
# $txt .= "<h1 class=\"small\">Something</h1>\n";

that is definitely almost unreadable!
I'm not a big fan of the (for ...)
but then i did forgot about replace(), but it would cause a problem, as does mine addslash, which i'm fixing
Example of the problem: if i already have a slash before the ", it would add another one.
Fixed:
def htmlToPHP(varname, html):
if type(varname) != str:
raise TypeError("varname must be string.")
if type(html) == list or type(html) == tuple:
for line in html:
line = addslash(line)
print "%s .= \"%s\\n\";" % (varname, line)
elif type(html) == str:
htmlToPHP(varname, html.split("\n"))
else:
raise TypeError("html must be string or list of strings")
def addslash(string):
string = string.strip()
i = 0
while i < len(string):
index = string.find('"', i)
if index != -1:
if string[index-1] == "\\":
i = index + 1
continue
string = string[0:index] + "\\" + string[index:]
else:
break
i = index + 2
return string

okay..LOL
i have been basically ORDERED (LOL) to learn PHP..and really I dont know ANYTHING about it..but the reason for this new order from the upper rings of the corporate ladder is too build web sites with (which i have yet too do as well)
anyway to get to the question here
lol
can anyone post a working version for VB.net???

I learned html to put up my website. I think that most websites use html. What advantage does php have over html? Is it better for the websites that have forums where people are leaving their own messages on the website. That is just a guess but I do know that most forums use a different code than html.
Does this website use php? The source code for this site says "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0" Is php a type of html? I saw that this is under Python. The only thing that I know about python is that it is a non-venemous snake that kills by constriction.

Here my fixed for already \" version in functions:
def quote_backslach(line):
result = ''
find = '"'
while find:
start,find,line = line.partition(r'\"')
result += start.replace('"',r'\"')+find
return result
def toPHP(var, t):
for outp in ((r'%s .= "%s\n";' %
(var, quote_backslach(line)))
for line in t.split('\n') if line): ## eliminates empty lines
yield outp
print '\n'.join(toPHP("$txt",'''
<a href=\\"test.php">some link</a>
<h1 class="small">Something</h1>
'''))The split ignores empty lines to allow better formatting for multiline string.

well, as far as i have been told (and I am sure it is limited information)
is that PHP has an advantage over html for the use of forms and such.
but..
I really am not so sure that it is such an advantage with all of the new apps out today.
today, i have yet to hear of one real-un argumentative advantage of using PHP over html (*sees a battle start to emerge*)

PHP and HTML is really 2 different technology. HTML is necessary to create a website. PHP is a good dynamic HTML generator, really.
@tonyjv, cuts a lot of lines, list comprehension definitely kills readability.

@tonyjv, cuts a lot of lines, list comprehension definitely kills readability.
I do not use list comprehensions, only two generators and function to separate quoting action our of the generator. Raw string kills some \\'s. Now there is nothing complicated in the generator only the splitting ignoring empty lines with if.
Notice that '\n'.join takes readily generator as well as list.
Here little cleaner version returning generator instead of yielding values:
def quote_backslach(line):
result = ''
find = '"'
while find:
start,find,line = line.partition(r'\"')
result += start.replace('"',r'\"')+find
return result
def toPHP(var, t):
return ((r'%s .= "%s\n";' %
(var, quote_backslach(line)))
for line in t.split('\n') if line) ## if eliminates empty lines
print '\n'.join(toPHP("$txt",'''
<a href="test.php">some link</a>
<h1 class="small">Something</h1>
''')) ultimatebuster 14 Posting Whiz in Training
isn't list comprehension the same as putting for and if statements inside an array (list/tuple)

So I thought myself one time, but test:
(i for i in range(10))in command line.
