Error at converting PHP string in HTML code

Question

I have this PHP code:

$htmlCode = '
                <form action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]); ?>" method="post">
                </form>
            ';

And I want to put it in a part of my HTML using this:

<html>
   <?php
       echo $htmlCode;
   ?>
</html>

But when I open the file it shows this:

And I don't know why. Please help

You can also completely omit the `action` attribute to achieve the same effect. — El_Vanja, May 07 '21 at 09:16

Your PHP-Code should look like:

<?php
$htmlCode = '
            <form action="'.htmlspecialchars($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]).'"     method="post">
            </form>
        ';

?>

this is big mistake

try this code


<?php

$path = htmlspecialchars($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);
$htmlCode = "<form action='{$path}' method='post'></form>";
echo $htmlCode;

even you don't need $path this is also work

<?php
$htmlCode = '<form action"" method="post"></form>';
echo $htmlCode;

?>

You don't even need to echo the `$htmlCode`. Just add the `
` tag into the HTML body. No PHP is required.
