Posting php in an echo

[zelig]

How can I post this variable $healspell when I already have an echo within a php?

 

Here's what I have:

 

				echo '<p>You cast Nature\'s Cure (Recovered <?=$healspell?>)</p>';

 

It's not printing anything out at the moment, obviously, and if I just put $healspell, it just echos out: $healspell.

 

Thanks!

You can either use interpolation (which requires double quotes):

echo "
You cast Nature's Cure (Recovered {$healspell})";

 

Or concatenation (you can use single or double):

echo '
You cast Nature\'s Cure (Recovered ' . $healspell . ')';

 

There are a few other ways, but these are most common.

Ah, nice.

You shouldn't need the {} for this. You'd use it for an array value but a regular variable, no need.

I prefer them for readability.  But if you want to get picky, you only need them for String keys.

or object methods. [/picky]

 

<?php

class foo {
public function bar() { return 'baz'; }
}

$obj = new foo;
echo "How would you like a nice of {$obj->bar()}";

?>
