I am trying to print a label and a textbox together in a HTML file that I am trying to write using fopen, fputs in PHP. For some reason the output is just a text box and not the label along with the textbox. This is the piece of code I am using.?
I have also tried for line 4 $var4.$var5 and "$var4"."$var5" with no success.
if($ele == 'txtbox')
{
$var5 = "<input type = 'text' name = 'lbl1'><br><br>";
$element2 = "$var4$var5";
echo $element2;
}I really don't understand your piece of code that much, and what is to be added to labels and text boxes
here is something that might help
if($ele == 'txtbox')
{
$var5 = "<label for=\"lbl1\">$somevalue</label>";
$var5 .= "<input type=\"text\" name=\"xyz\" id=\"lbl1\">$anothervalue</input>";
}
echo $var5;if its not clear for you, please give me more information regarding your objective and I'll be glad to help
like saadsaidi said, we need more information. are you getting an error? Has the code met the condition if($ele == 'txtbox') to display the textbox?

Thanks very much. Your code kind of helped, but not with my objectives. I will explain my program. I am creating a HTML form builder. That is a user can select from a dropdown, HTML elements(such as List box, Textbox, Radio button, Checkbox). They can also enter a label for each. There are 5 dropdowns available. The php form to which I post data, will take the label name and the dropdown value name. Then it will write the label and the HTML element to an HTML file on the server(it creates a new file). When I try to do it for only 1 value, I get the desired HTML file with the label and the HTML element. But If I try to put it in a loop 5 times and then try to write it, it wont work. I am mentioning all the code of this application.

Thanks, I have explained my program completely. Can you please reply to tht. Its the previous post to yours.
base on my experience i did it this way
youre original code
for($i=0;$i<=5; $i++)
{
$elementlabel.$i = $_POST['label.$i'];
$ele.$i = $_POST['elementtype.$i'];
}
//here's mine
for($i=0;$i<=5; $i++)
{
$label = 'label'.$i;
$elementtype = 'elementtype'.$i;
$elementlabel.$i = $_POST[$label];
$ele.$i = $_POST[$elementtype];
}
Concatenation needs period '.'. You need to place the period between the string or variable that you want to concate.
$string1 = "This is string 1";
$string2 = "This is string 2";
$string 1 . $string2;
