[SOLVED] printing $

[lifeson2112]

Hello, I am writing a php program and I need to print out the $ character. Does anyone know how to do this?

<?php
print '$';
?>

Heres one way if i read your post correctly

 

echo "$";

 

if you want to print a variable

 

Print $variablename;

To give more of an explanation, if you use double quotes then PHP attempts to parse variables in the string. With single quotes it does not attempt to parse variables. You can use double quotes, but you would need to escape the dollar sign:

 

print "\$";

Sweet. Both the single quotes and the escape characters are working great.
