html 5 using php documents

Recommended Posts

Hi I am trying to replace fixed names of pdf documents with variables.

This works

    <object data="Darth.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="950" height="800">
    alt : <a href="Darth.pdf">test.pdf</a>
    </object>

This fails when using a variable

    <object data=$doc type="application/pdf" width="950" height="800">
    alt : <a href=$doc>test.pdf</a>
    </object>

$doc  = "Darth.pdf"

How can I modify this HTML5 to work?

The code you provided is HTML code, not PHP. HTML doesn't know how to use a variable and that variable would be set on the server anyway. Not to mention the variable (as you've presented it is defined after you want to use it). You need to have PHP code that generates that HTML. E.g.

 

 

<?php
    $doc = "Darth.pdf";
?>
 
<object data="<?php echo $doc; ?>" type="application/pdf" width="950" height="800">
alt : <a href="<?php echo $doc; ?>">test.pdf</a>
</object>

 

Or

 

<?php
    $doc = "Darth.pdf";
    echo "<object data='{$doc}' type='application/pdf' width='950' height='800'>\n";
    echo "alt : <a href='<?php echo $doc; ?>'>test.pdf</a>\n";
    echo "</object>\n";
?>
