[SOLVED] is this the right way to put a function in a echo

[nathanmaxsonadil]

I was wondering if this is the right way to put a function in a echo ?

echo "<li><a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?example={myfunction($myvar['test'])}&...

[plutomed]

When I do them I do it like this :

echo "<li><a href=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?example=".myfunction($myvar['test'])."&...

So I dunno that way

[trekerboy]

yeah, I also use the .myFunc($stuff). concatenation method

Did you even try your example? It will not work.

[nathanmaxsonadil]

my example gives me error's

[jcanker]

you are getting error b/c of the single quotes that are around the name of the href= and around the _SERVER element.

 

Single quotes are not like parentheses; they don't nest inside of each other (generally....you might be able to  create a bizzarre situation where they would, but let's not get into that now   )

 

When I'm writing code, if I have a variable that refers to an array element, then I concatenate it using .

so:

 

echo "<li><a href=' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . " ?example= " .myfunction($myvar['test']) . " &somethingelse=goeshere' ";

 

I put in some extra spaces to make it more obvious.

 

another thing I will do is build a $page_content that all the html code gets added to as it builds, then echo $page_content when it's all finished.
