note 73373 added to language.variables

As an addendum to David's 10-Nov-2005 posting, remember that curly braces literally mean "evaluate what's inside the curly braces" so, you can squeeze the variable variable creation into one line, like this: <?php ${"title_default_" . $title} = "selected"; ?> and then, for example: <?php $title_select = <<<END <select name="title"> <option>Select</option> <option $title_default_Mr value="Mr">Mr</option> <option $title_default_Ms value="Ms">Ms</option> <option $title_default_Mrs value="Mrs">Mrs</option> <option $title_default_Dr value="Dr">Dr</option> </select> END; ?> ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 24.125.212.161 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/73373 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73373/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73373/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73373/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73373/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73373/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73373/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73373 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/73373 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
