Help With Getting Some Php To Show In A Link

[peeler1967]

presently I have this

 

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory');?>/admin/layouts/<?php echo $data['alt_stylesheet'];" />

 

but it is not showing the $data['alt_stylesheet']; If I put the

 

echo $data['alt_stylesheet']; is a single line it shows the data but in the link line it won't what am I doing wrong?

You never ended your PHP after echo'ing it. You should have a fatal error. 

[peeler1967]

actually I do apologize but I did close the php <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory');?>/admin/layouts/<?php echo $data['alt_stylesheet']; ?>" /> It's been a very long day and forgot to type that when posing my question.

[Jessica]

How about you just copy and paste the ACTUAL code then, so you don't make more mistakes?

Run a print_r($data); - what do you get?

 

Also, do this instead:

<?php
$directory = get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory');
echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="'.$directory.'/admin/layouts/'.$data['alt_stylesheet'].'" />';
?>

 

Easier to read.

style.css is what I get if I go in and change the style to white .css it shows white.css

[peeler1967]

if this helps at all here is where I make the option choices

 

$of_options[] = array( "name" => "Theme Stylesheet",

"desc" => "Select your themes alternative color scheme.",

"id" => "alt_stylesheet",

"std" => "style.css",

"type" => "select",

"options" => $alt_stylesheets);

That code has absolutely nothing to do with the other code. You also didn't answer my question or say if you changed it to match my suggestion. 

[peeler1967]

I tried your suggestion and it still doesn't show the the 'alt_stylesheet' part. if I go below the header into the body of the page and echo the alt_stylesheet it prints it on the screen just fine.

Try rebooting it.

it may be highly irregular, but I moved that code from the header to the body and it works perfectly. Not sure what's up with the header aspect but i got it to work.

You probably have a variable scope problem, either due to pasting together a page using include statement with URL's instead of file system paths or you are using functions to output content and they don't have access to the variables.

 

Posting your code, less any database connection details, from the start of your main file through to the echo statement that doesn't work would be the quickest way of getting a solution.
