Re: Re: How to echo the end marker '?>'

Actually, you don't even have to concatenate them at all. Just treat <? as a string and that is it: eg: <? echo '<? echo "hello world"; ?>'; ?> will output you: -- <? echo "hello world"; ?> -- without any parse errors. -- Maxim Maletsky maxim@php.net "Cam Dunstan" <cam@norex.com.au> wrote... : > Ernest, your solution is quite correct, I write lots of scripts that "write > scripts" and it works fine. just concatenate little strings together > "<"."?"."php" and "?".">" pretty much > as you suggested to Philipp. > > If you have a really sick and twisted mind you can create functions that do > this in combination with $$ variable variables for some very interesting > effects but after a while your friends will start crossing over to the other > side of the road when they see you coming.
