array('MAINCONTENT' => '<div id="registration"><form id="register" class="cssform" action="#" method="POST">
<b><font color="black" size="4">Personal Details</font></b>
<p>
<label for="firstname">First Name</label>
<input type="text" id="firstname" value="" autocomeplete="off" />
</p>

<p>
<label for="lastname">Last Name</label>
<input type="text" id="lastname" value="" autocomeplete="off" />
</p>

<p>
<label for="emailaddress">Email Address:</label>
<input type="text" id="emailaddress" value="" autocomeplete="off" />
</p>

<p>
<label for="password">Password:</label>
<input type="password" id="password" value="" autocomeplete="off" />
</p>

<p>
<label for="passwordconf">Confirm Password:</label>
<input type="password" id="passwordconf" value="" autocomeplete="off" />
</p>

<p>
<label for="phone">Phone:</label>
<input type="text" id="phone" value="" autocomeplete="off" />
</p>

<p>
<label for="address">Address:</label>
<input type="text" id="address" value="" autocomeplete="off" />
</p>

<p>
<label for="city">City:</label>
<input type="text" id="city" value="" autocomeplete="off" />
</p>

<p>
<label for="county">County:</label>
<input type="text" id="county" value="" autocomeplete="off" />
</p>

<p>
<label for="postcode">Postcode:</label>
<input type="text" id="postcode" value="" autocomeplete="off" />
</p>
<p></p>
<b><font color="black" size="4">Card Details</font></b>
<p>
<label for="accname">Name on card:</label>
<input type="text" id="accname" value="" autocomeplete="off" />
</p>

<p>
<label for="accnumber">Account number:</label>
<input type="text" id="accnumber" value="" autocomeplete="off" />
</p>

<p>
<label for="accsort">Account sort code:</label>
<input type="text" id="accsort" value="" autocomeplete="off" />
</p>

<p>
<label for="expiry">Expiry:</label>
<input type="text" id="expiry" value="" autocomeplete="off" />
</p>

<div style="margin-left: 200px;">
<input type="text" id="id" value="$id" autocomeplete="off" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" /> 
</div>

</form></div>');

You're trying to use a variable inside of a single-quoted string, which won't work.  The fact that the single-quoted string is a value in an array is irrelevant.

 

You'll want to use string concatenation at the point where you want to use the variable if you want to stick with a single-quoted string.

Hiya bud,

 

Thanks for the reply. I only really understood the first half of that LOL! My brain is not fully functional right now LOL!

 

Many thanks

$example_single_quoted_string = 'hello there, my id is $id.  cool, huh?'; // this does not work

// so we end the string with a single quote, use concatenation with our variable, and then start the string again
$example_single_quoted_string = 'hello there, my id is ' . $id . '.  cool, huh?';
