variable values containin $

[rohithreddyk]

Hi, in my class there is a member variable whose default value contains a "$" character in it.. like

private $name = "rohith$kodakandla"; 

 

if I use code like this, I am getting an "Unexpected '"' at line..." kind of error. I think the php is taking varible $name as rohith+ value of ( $kodakandla).. i tried removing $ () and It worked perfectly without error. but I want the $name to be "rohith$kodakandla"

 

can someone help me to fix this?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

 

private $name = 'rohith$kodakandla';

' -> it doesnt parse the variable

 

or escabe the $ character

private $name = "rohith\$kodakandla";

[Barand]

use single quotes

private $name = 'rohith$kodakandla'; 

 

or escape the dollar sign

private $name = "rohith\$kodakandla";

thanks a lot barand and bh..

 

is this double quotes issue version dependent? the reason I am asking is, I came across this issue when debugging an old application that is no longer in use.. i am not sure which version of php they had.. but the current version I am using is 5.1.2

Php variables are parsed and replaced with their values when contained within double-quotes AFAIK since the first php version was released and certainly since php 4.0.
