Passing a from through Echo function

Question

I have to make an if statement to place a form in my page if the user is an admin, but I'm having trouble with the syntax. Right now it is like this:

    if($_SESSION['tipo'] == "admin")
                {
                    echo '<form method=\'POST\' action=\'adicionaproduto.php\'>
                        <input type=\"submit\" value=\"Adicionar Produto\" name=\"adicionaproduto\">
                    </form>'
                }

It is not working and I think it's a mater of using "" or '.

Don't escape the double quotes. You only escape the quotes being used by PHP for encapsulating the string's data. Oh and you missed a closing `;` after the echo.. — chris85, Nov 02 '15 at 16:12
had you bothered checking for errors with error reporting, it would have told you about the syntax error `'` see what's missing? Visit this http://php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php and apply it to your code and make sure you started the session. — Funk Forty Niner, Nov 02 '15 at 16:12

Try This:

if($_SESSION['tipo'] == "admin")
             { ?>
                  <form method='POST' action='adicionaproduto.php'>
                  <input type="submit" value="Adicionar Produto" name="adicionaproduto">
                   </form>
           <?php  } ?>

why should they *"Try this"*? why not point out where the real problem is? – Funk Forty Niner Nov 02 '15 at 16:14

if($_SESSION['tipo'] == "admin"){
  echo '
        <form method="POST" action="adicionaproduto.php">
         <input type="submit" value="Adicionar Produto" name="adicionaproduto">
        </form>';
}

This should get you started i echoed using single quotes and the used double quotes all through afterwards in order to avoid escaping strings. This is good practise for echoing html in php

don't tell me that, put it in your answer. – Funk Forty Niner Nov 02 '15 at 16:16
i echoed using single quotes so i can do away with character escaping and the used double quotes all through. – Mueyiwa Moses Ikomi Nov 02 '15 at 16:18
