note 76149 added to language.types.string

The section `#language.types.string.parsing' above says: "Before PHP 5.1.1, backslash in \{$var} hasn't been printed." ...but does not inform how to fix that. The answer is easy: double each curly-bracket. So, when producing inline CSS: <?php $hBack = '#99ccff'; $hFore = '#000088'; $style = "background:$hBack;color:$hFore;" echo "h1 {background:$hBack;color:$hFore;} h2 \{$style} h3 {{$style}}"; ?> PHP < v5.1.1 prints: h1 {background:#99ccff;color:#000088;} h2 {background:#99ccff;color:#000088;} h3 {background:#99ccff;color:#000088;} PHP => v5.1.1 prints: h1 {background:#99ccff;color:#000088;} h2 \{background:#99ccff;color:#000088;} h3 {background:#99ccff;color:#000088;} Please note: I have not checked `{{$style}}' on PHP before v5.1.1; the assumption seems reasonable. ---- Server IP: 194.145.210.3 Probable Submitter: 84.9.191.72 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/76149 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76149/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76149/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76149/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76149/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76149/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76149/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76149 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/76149 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
