Re: Print statements , syntax , usage, etc

hello, please read about strings more in the the manual: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php Variable aren't parsed in strings enclosed by single quotes ''. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ricardo Fitzgerald" <axis@movinet.com.uy> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, October 22, 2001 6:54 PM Subject: [PHP] Print statements , syntax , usage, etc Hi, ¡'m new to php, but not to programming, I'm having problems using a simple print statement : *print '<td width="25%" bgcolor="#FcaF00"><b><font face="Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans Serif">Ref:</font><b/></td>';* *print '<td width="25%" bgcolor="#FFFF00"><b><font face="Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans Serif">$reference</font><b/></td>';* the problem is with the output, the table is fine but the variable $reference otputs it's name $reference instead of it's value i.e. 345. I'm getting mad because I know this has to be some kind of syntax error but I tried exchanging quotes for double quotes, adding parenthesis and stuff like that and I couldn't figure out what the prob is ...
