    hey problem here is that i have to put the form in a php variable as this

    <?php
$content .="
<form method=\"post\" action=\"root.php\" name=\"theform"\>
                <input type=\"text"\ id=\"metanav-search-field\" value=\"enter domain name\" onclick=\"javascript:this.value=\'';" name=\"url\">
                <button id=\"domain_search_btn\" class=\"oBtnPrimary oBtnInline\" onclick=\"domain_form_submit();\">Search</button>           
                </form>";
    Code (markup):
    and im get errors

    since the script templating is that every code has to be inside $content .=" ";

    so the problem is how can target the class instead of adding the js in the form. I'm not that experienced in coding so i need help

    There are a few different ways to get the form into the variable but this might make it a bit easier

    <?php
$content .="
<form method='post' action='root.php' name='theform'>
<input type='text' id='metanav-search-field' value='enter domain name' onclick='javascript:this.value=';' name='url'>
<button id='domain_search_btn' class='oBtnPrimary oBtnInline' onclick='domain_form_submit();'>Search</button>
</form>";
    HTML:
    but something else I do when building up a complex string like this is to take a building blocks approach like this:
    <?php
$blocks = [];
$blocks[] = "<form method='post' action='root.php' name='theform'>";
$blocks[] = "<input type='text' id='metanav-search-field' value='enter domain name' onclick='javascript:this.value=';' name='url'>";
$blocks[] = "<button id='domain_search_btn' class='oBtnPrimary oBtnInline' onclick='domain_form_submit();'>Search</button>";
$blocks[] = "</form>";
$content .= implode($blocks);
    HTML:

    Hey thanks, I was still getting PHP error because the script coding style is old but i used this and it worked since it getting the form to query info from the other site which is not on my server
    $content    .="
<form method=\"get\" action=\"https://www.example.com/reports.php\" name=\"theform\">
        <div class=\"input-group\">
            <input type=\"text\" class=\"form-control\" name=\"domain\" placeholder=\"Type domain name..\">
            <span class=\"input-group-btn\"><button type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" class=\"btn btn-primary\">get info</button></span>
        </div>

        </form>";
    Code (markup):
