Output ASCII Character Strings from PHP Scripts
This section provides tutorial example on how to include output ASCII character strings in a PHP script file. ASCII characters can be entered directly as string literals in PHP code segments or as text in non-PHP code segments. No special techniques are needed.
As I mentioned earlier, ASCII characters can travel from PHP files to browsers easily without any trouble. Here is a simple PHP file with ASCII characters only:
<?php # HelpASCII.php #- Copyright 2009 (c) HerongYang.com. All Rights Reserved. # print("<html><body>\n"); print("<b>Help</b><br/>\n"); print("This is a very simple help page...<br/>\n"); ?> This is a very simple help page...<br/> </body></html>
If you view this page with a browser, you will get the following output:
Help This is a very simple help page... This is a very simple help page...
Perfect, right? ASCII text entered as a PHP string literal travels through correctly. Text entered as HTML static text outside the PHP block travels through also correctly.
