Re: Variable substitution in HTML

You can print in here-doc style w/ PHP4. For example .... <?php $myname = "Chris"; $yourname = "Chris too"; print <<<EOF <html> <head> <title>Names</title> </head> <body> <p>My name is ${myname}<br> Your name is ${yourname}</p> </body> </html> EOF; ?> The 'print <<<EOF' and the UNINDENTED 'EOF;' work the magic. DON'T INDENT THE 'EOF;'!!! I use braces around the variable name so as to not get it entwined with the HTML. It makes it less confusing (possible!) to do things like <p>The file is here: ${path}/${fileBaseName}01.txt</p> For reference: "heredoc syntax" http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php g.luck, ~Chris /"\ \ / September 11, 2001 X We Are All New Yorkers / \ rm -rf /bin/laden On Wed, 17 Oct 2001, barlow wrote: > Is there a simple way of converting PHP variables in HTML? > e.g. I have HTML: > > <P> My name is $myname </P> > > Is there a conversion method that doesn't require further changes to the > HTML (to avoid adding <?= $myname ?> each time, for instance), and > that doesn't require knowledge of variable names (e.g. ereg_replace). > > In a Unix shell I once sourced an HTML file, that led to correct shell > variable substitution - but what about under Windows ? > > Thanks, > Chris > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net > >
