Escape characters in echo statement

[Awanka]

Why doesn't the following line workin in php?

 

echo "$_REQUEST[/'checkAllDefault/']";

 

I get the error message:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in

Why doesn't the following line workin in php?

 

Because it is invalid.

 

You don't need to escape ( ps the escape char is \ not / ) single quotes within double quotes, however you should wrap complex variables (arrays) within curly braces.

 

echo "{$_REQUEST['checkAllDefault']}";

 

In your example though, there is no need for the double quotes at all.

 

echo $_REQUEST['checkAllDefault'];

Who do you want to escape those?

 

<?php

echo $_REQUEST['checkAllDefault'];

?>
