Help writing date onto string in IFRAME

[spacepoet]

Hi:

 

I have this code snippet here:

echo "<iframe frameborder='0' width='640' height='700' src='calendar.php?month='.date('n').'&year='.date('Y').''></iframe>";

 

Can't for the life of me figure out how to get it to write the month and the year onto it.

 

The idea is, a user clicks a link on the menu called "Calendar", and he/she is taken to the calendar section (HTML page).

There is the text, and then the calendar.php page is pulled into the page via the IFRAME.

 

I just can't seem to get it to write the month and year properly, like this:

<iframe frameborder='0' width='640' height='700' src='calendar.php?month=7&year=2012'></iframe>

 

Any ideas? This one is frustrating me ..

 

Thanks!

The php string you are echoing starts (and ends) with double-quotes. To close each fragment of that string to concatenate the result of php functions into it, you must use matching double-quotes.

echo "a complete string fragment".date('n')."another complete string fragment".date('Y')."another complete string fragment";

Thank you!

 

For the explanation and the code example - everything works fine now!

use <object> instead of iframe you wont face errors on validating the page and you don t have to use the scrollbar propertie so you wont get error on Opera when u use css instead to control it

Hi there:

 

Thanks for the tip.

 

I must admit I have not heard of this, but certainly willing to try it out and see if it is a better solution.

 

Thanks!
