How to put PHP in a string

[OrangeTux]

I want to put some PHP code in a string $output.

With the string I  create a new php file and in there has to be some PHP code in that file.

But...

 

I get error, even on the simpelst code

 

$output = "<?php
					if(isset($_POST['Bijwerken'])) {
						header ('Location: http://localhost/Perfect/creategallery.php/creategallery.php');
						exit;
					}
				?>";

 

Gives:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /var/www/Perfect/creategallery.php on line 7 

 

What the problem?

To reference an array element inside of a quoted string, you have to use curly-braces.

 

Also, I don't know if the closing php tag is being interpreted or not. I don't think it should be, but I know PHP will interpret it inside a comment, so you could split it up.

 

$output = "<?php
    if(isset({$_POST['Bijwerken']})) {
        header ('Location: http://localhost/Perfect/creategallery.php/creategallery.php');
        exit;
    }
?" . ">";

I haven't tried you solution DavidAM, I solved the problem bij replacing "$" by "$".

You have to escape the $ (dollar sign) with a \ :

$output = "\$_POST";

Or change the string wrappers from double quotes to single quotes.
