using a variable as a %

[chaosxkitten]

So say I have the variable $p = 10 , and I wanted to use it in css, so I'd need "10%". I've tried echoing it various ways, but nothing reads through the source code. $p% ($p)% '$p'% .... I'm not sure how to type this up.

 

used like this:

 

echo "div {
width: $p%; 
}";

If you view source what you do you get?  Also you ending the line after the "%;"

 

Maybe try this...

echo "div {
width: ".$p."% 
}";

 

I know that the "%" is often use as the MOD math function.  I'm wondering if that had something to do with it.  Try out my code and let me know what happens.

escape with backslash as $p\%

Neither seems to work. the source code just prints like this:

 

 

div {
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
height: 600px;
width: ".$w."%
}

the program accepts:

 

$p%

 

but not in single quotes ' ', I had to use " "
