How can I use 'checkbox' input tag in the PHP file?

Question

   echo "<input type="checkbox" name="h" id="cbox3" /><label for="cbox3"><img align="middle" src="/upload/JPNP033.JPG" /> </label>";

I am making the PHP file to show image with 'checkbox'. I want each image with one's own 'checkbox'.

I added this echo sentence in my php file but after i added this command, my file shows nothing(it doesn't work...)

Since you are using the same operator (`"`) to open the html `type` attribute, you are effectively ending the string there. Anything after that becomes a syntax error hence your file showing nothing (fatal error). — SamV, Feb 14 '14 at 12:23

Try this, use ' instead of " quotes

echo '<input type="checkbox" name="h" id="cbox3" /><label for="cbox3"><img align="middle" src="/upload/JPNP033.JPG" /> </label>';

Use single quotes ('), otherwise the double quotes (") will interfer with each other, causing the data not the be output:

 echo '<input type="checkbox" name="h" id="cbox3" /><label for="cbox3"><img align="middle" src="/upload/JPNP033.JPG" /> </label>';

What you're basically doing is ending your echo by writing " in your HTML. What you should do is write \", this basically makes it so that it ignores the " as PHP.

Also, as suggested, you can change every " (that is HTML) to '.

While writing HTML content in echo please remember this. If you are using double quotes " as outer quotes then quotes used in HTML should be single quotes ' and Reversal.

So change you echo syntax according to that.

Try this, use ' instead of " quotes

echo '<input type="checkbox" name="h" id="cbox3" /><label for="cbox3"><img align="middle" src="/upload/JPNP033.JPG" /> </label>';

but the good practice is

your php code here ?>
<input type="checkbox" name="h" id="cbox3" /><label for="cbox3"><img align="middle" src="/upload/JPNP033.JPG" /> </label>";
