Re: unexpected T_STRING error

I knew I shouldn't of been doing this on Saturday morning. I forgot something as simple as that. Maybe another jolt of caffeine is needed. Thanks Gary Matt wrote:

Hi All, Can someone explain to me why I am getting an error for the following? $keywords = $_POST[keywords]; if ($keywords) { echo"&lt;META NAME="keywords" CONTENT=" $keywords "&gt;"; }

The quotes within the quotes -- you need to escape them. Otherwise, the second double quote terminates the quoted string, yet there's some more junk on the line. By escaping them, you tellphp you mean the literal ", and don't want to terminate the string . So change to: echo"&lt;META NAME=\"keywords\" CONTENT=\" $keywords \"&gt;";
