Ninjakreborn Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I have my php script set up like this.<embed src="<?=$funnyurl?>" width="100" height="100"></embed>I am passing a php variable into, it connects but it's not playing, it shows a big question mark. Is there something else I need to do to get files to display. I need to pull the stuff from the database, and play it from the directory, I have a script set up, and it properly handles pictures, txt, and now it's time for music, and video?

kenrbnsn Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 The "<?=" is a shortcut for "<?php echo".You really should get used to not using short tags and this shortcut, since they will probably go away in PHP6.Ken Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/13840-question/#findComment-53849 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjakreborn Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 What can I use in stead of the shortcut, it's not too late for me to change it all now. I just thought it was an easy way to insert stuff in xhtml without taking up too much room, what do you recommend.

Ninjakreborn Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 Ah so instead I would use <?php echo $funnyurl?> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/13840-question/#findComment-53874 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Yes that is correct also make sure you have a semi-colon before the closing ?> tag so its this:<?php echo $funnyurl; ?> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/13840-question/#findComment-53883 Share on other sites More sharing options...
