[SOLVED] passing params

[zang8027]

I got a php file called nav.php with the following code:

 

<?php

function navigation($home, $resume, $port, $contact)
{
	echo '

	<ul>
		<li><a href="index/"><img src="images/$home.png" alt="Home Page" /></a></li>
		<li><a href="resume/"><img src="images/$resume.png" alt="Resume" /></a></li>
		<li><a href="portfolio/"><img src="images/$port.png" alt="Portfolio Pieces" /></a></li>
		<li><a href="contact/"><img src="images/$contact.png" alt="Contact" /></a></li>
	</ul>
	';

}

?>

 

 

Then, in my main file, i am using require_once 'nav.php';.

 

Then, i am calling the function navigation("homeBtn", "resumeBtn", "portBtn", "contactBtn);

 

I am getting $contact.png etc.. instead of contactBtn so it acts like its not accepting my params.

 

Any idea?

You need to use double quotes instead of single quotes for it to show the value of the variable. Or you could just do,

' . $home . '

etc.

 

So,

<?php

   function navigation($home, $resume, $port, $contact)
   {
      echo '

      <ul>
         <li><a href="index/"><img src="images/' . $home . '.png" alt="Home Page" /></a></li>
         <li><a href="resume/"><img src="images/' . $resume . '.png" alt="Resume" /></a></li>
         <li><a href="portfolio/"><img src="images/' . $port . '.png" alt="Portfolio Pieces" /></a></li>
         <li><a href="contact/"><img src="images/' . $contact . '.png" alt="Contact" /></a></li>
      </ul>
      ';

   }

?>

is one way.
