[SOLVED] echo <<< problem

[2tonejoe]

I am trying to echo variables plus text and it isn't working when the text is an underscore . . .

$accountid = $row->accountID;

echo <<<END
<p class="account">$accountid_standard</p>
END;

 

The string is "_standard", but it doesn't print . . .? how can I ensure that the underscore isn't being read as a variable?

$accountid = $row->accountID;

echo "<p class="account">" . $accountid_standard . "</p>";

is there no way to do this inside of the:

echo <<<END

END;

 

statement??

Why do you need those?

because i plan on echoing much more that just that line of html. .  its probably about 50 lines. Going through and formatting for each row to be echoed looks nasty and more time than its worth, but if it must be so . . . so be it

Try the {} syntax to force php to reconize where the variable starts and stops -

 

$accountid = $row->accountID;

echo <<<END
<p class="account">{$accountid}_standard</p>
END;
