pass variable in php construct [message #172174] Thu, 03 February 2011 04:27 Go to next message

I have these simple lines in my php script:

<?php
if (!empty($_GET[req])) {
print "<h2>$_GET[req]</h2>";
?>
<h3>"$_GET[req]"</h3>
<?php
} else {
...
}
?>

I wonder why the $_GET[req] value shows up within the php code block
(print to <h2> tags), but not showing up in the html block (between
<h3> tags)? Is it suppose so or I missed something? (I tried to pass
it to a local defined variable but still cannot be used in 'html'
block).

Thanks in advance,
joe

First thing is to turn on all errors and notices on your development
system (you DO have a development system, don't you?)

This will give you an E_NOTICE on the line

print "<h2>$_GET[req]</h2>"

You need quotes around ``req''.

Here, too.

As Jerry suggests, make sure your error reporting is enabled and
you have "display_errors" on in php.ini on your development
environment.

> ?>
> <h3>"$_GET[req]"</h3>

This is simply output, and never parsed.

See: <http://php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.phpmode.php>

You might consider starting at the beginning to get a better feel
for PHP:

<http://php.net/manual/en/tutorial.php>

It seems to me, you just need a bit more time to get acclimated to
PHP.

That's the whole point of having PHP blocks. If PHP was parsed and
executed everywhere in the file, why would you need them?

You should also note the difference between 'foo' (a string) and foo (a
constant). I suggest you read the "Language Reference" chapters in the
PHP manual. It explains very important basics about the language:

If you wanted your line to get the $_GET then you needed to do:

<h3><?php print $_GET['foo']; ?></h3>

or simply moved your firs ?> to after the <h3> stuff and use another print.

PHP _ONLY_ does PHP stuff inside <?php ..... ?>. Outside those blocks
it is simply text like any other text.

Yes.

No. Note the double quotes around the string. Quotes around the array
key are not allowed here, unless you use curly syntax. So both of these
ways are correct:

print "<h2>$_GET[req]</h2>";
print "<h2>{$_GET['req']}</h2>";

confusing syntax this is.....

But it works, and even better:
print "<h2>$_GET['req']</h2>"; <== produces an error
(PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE,
expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING)

Thanks, good catch. Been away from PHP too long, I guess.

print "<h2>" . $_GET['req'] . "</h2>";
