[trying to implement microdata]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to fetch a product price and declare it as an item property for microdata.

The following function returns a price and displays it on the page:

<?php echo $this->getPriceHtml($_product, true) ?>

I don't want to display the price but to insert it in the following code

<meta itemprop="price" content=(price) />

where (price) is the returned value


I tried this:

<?php $_test = $this->getPriceHtml($_product, true) ?> 
<?php echo $_test ?>

the variable $_test displays correctly in my diagnostics.

But I cannot get it to work when inserted in the meta call:

<meta itemprop="price" content=$_test />

Could somebody please show me where I'm going wrong?

Thanks
