Using the $ sign

[kevincro]

I've been trying to use the $ sign within php code for its literal meaning.  However, I can't figure out how to keep PHP from trying to use it as a variable.  I've tried several things with to no avail.

Try

 

<?php
print '$variable'; //$variable
?>

Are you trying to echo it?

 

If you add it to a string it will work.

$somevalue = 1000000;
echo "$" . number_format($somevalue);


//$1,000,000

either use single quotes, and php won't try to evaluate it, or escape it:

 

echo "this is a \$sign";
