astheo Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Hi..How do I echo the value of the php variable which is located inside an echo tag? Here's a portion of my code to make my point clearer. There are two ways I know: 1st, $String = $_POST["message"]; echo '<table><tr><td> ."$String". </td></tr></table>'; 2nd, $String = $_POST["message"]; echo '<table><tr><td> .'$String'. </td></tr></table>'; The value of the $String variable is what I want to echo together with the table. But both display the variable name itself instead of the value. I'd like someone with good heart to help me out with this little trouble. Thanks!

aximbigfan Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I just do echo "<p>$string</p>"; Don't put " or ' around the var. If you want, you can put { and } around the string though. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenrbnsn Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 You have so much plain HTML in that echo statement, just leave PHP and echo the two variables individually: <html> <?php $feedback = $_POST["comment"]; $name = $_POST["author"]; ?> <head> <title>Mobile Phone Tweaks</title> </head> <style type="text/css"> .ent {font-family: verdana, tahoma; font-size: 10px;} .ek {filter: alpha(opacity="70"); background-color="none"; border: 0px solid;} a:link { text-decoration: none} a:active { text-decoration: none} a:visited { text-decoration: none} </style> <body> <div align="center"> <table style="border: 1px dotted #FFFFFF" cellpadding="15" cellspacing="1" border="0" bordercolor="#4B7EC5" class="ek" width="806" bgcolor="lightgray"> <tr> <td> <h3>Comments:</h3> <cite><?php echo $name; ?></cite> Says: <div align="center"><table border="0" width="700" ><tr><td><p><?php echo $feedback; ?></p> </td></tr></table></div> <h4 class="comments">Leave a Reply</h4> <form action="comment.php" method="post" id="commentform"> <p><input type="text" name="author" id="author" value="" size="22" tabindex="1" /> <label for="author"><small>Name (required)</small></label></p> <p><input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="" size="22" tabindex="2" /> <label for="email"><small>Mail (will not be published) (required)</small></label></p> <p><input type="text" name="url" id="url" value="" size="22" tabindex="3" /> <label for="url"><small>Website</small></label></p> <p><textarea name="comment" id="comment" cols="70%" rows="10" tabindex="4"></textarea></p> <p><input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" tabindex="5" value="Submit Comment" /> <input type="hidden" name="comment_post_ID" value="143" /> </p> </td> </form> </tr> </table> </div> </body> </html> Also, your HTML code was malformed, which I fixed. If you're going to use PHP to manipulate your HTML, learn how to write correct HTML. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
