<script> Tag Problem

[bluesapphire]

Hi there!
I am facing problem that if I display/use/echo CODE #1 in a php file then it doesn,t convert the $_SESSION variables into its values and it displays as it is in the link/url.

But in CODE # 2 , the $_SESSION variables are replaced with values.

CODE # 1
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://pf.tradedoubler.com/pf/pf2?a=913664&cuid=88215&tid=4997&epi=<?php echo $_SESSION[UID].'-'.$_SESSION[USERNAME];?>&oe=ISO-8859-1&js=true" charset="ISO-8859-1" charset="ISO-8859-1"></script>


CODE # 2
[a href=\"http://pf.tradedoubler.com/pf/pf2?a=913664&cuid=88215&tid=4997&epi=<?php\" target=\"_blank\"]http://pf.tradedoubler.com/pf/pf2?a=913664...97&epi=<?php[/a] echo $_SESSION[UID].'-'.$_SESSION[USERNAME];?>&oe=ISO-8859-1&js=true" charset="ISO-8859-1



Can any one have a solution in this regard

Thanks in advance

so you have done you code like so
[code]
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://pf.tradedoubler.com/pf/pf2?a=913664&cuid=88215&tid=4997&epi=<?php echo $_SESSION[UID].'-'.$_SESSION[USERNAME];?>&oe=ISO-8859-1&js=true"></script>
[/code]

but what is your exact problem sorry i did not understand fully

[kenrbnsn]

Do you have
[code]<?php
session_start();
?>[/code]
at the start of your script?

This will put <?=$variable?> on the screen.

echo "<?=$variable?>";


This will put the value of $variable on the screen.

echo "$variable";


if you're not within <?php and ?> you should use <?=$variable?> to echo a php variable, but if you are within <?php and ?> then you should use echo "$variable";



Hope this helps

ignore this i just understood your post

The "<?=" construct is equivalent to "<? echo" and "<?php echo" and will only work if short tags are turned on. I have heard the short tags are going away in PHP version 6, so if you use them now, start getting used to using "<?php " instead.

On a side note, the first time I saw "<?=", I had no idea what it meant and I had to do a lot of digging before I found out (this forum didn't exist then). I would say to new users -- "learn the proper way instead of the shortcut way".

i've heard the short version (<?) will be going in the next major release too. Funny though, until now i never realised this would impact on my use of <?=... though when you think about it, its obvious lol.

Thanks ken. (my hero)

Hi there !
The session is already started. I have used "<?=" instead of "<?php echo " . But of no use .The result is same as before.

[kenrbnsn]

Can you post some more of the script that doesn't work. There may be something in the lines prior to this line that is causing the problem.
