can echo contain "<?php ... ?>"?

[london77]

Hi,

 

I am wondering if "echo" can contain <?php ?>  in it.

 

such as

 

echo ''<?php include ("inc/menu.html"); ?>";

 

if it cannot contain, then how can make it contain "include ()" ?

 

thanks in advance

If you use single quotes, it will echo the string as a literal. The question is why would you want to do that? What are you trying to accomplish?

ok, thnks for the  quick reply,

 

i was trying to put some restriction to a page, and if user is not registered he wont be able to see it, even the admin menu which lays right side.

This logic should make more sense.

 

Pseudo-code . . .

if( $_SESSION['is_logged_in'] === TRUE )
     include('logged_in_users_menu.html');
} else {
     include('generic_users_menu.html');
}
