variables in string??

[fitchic77]

$id1="code";

foreach ($arr as $ele) {
  //$str .= "<td><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"$name\" value=\"$ele->code\"";
  $str .= "<td><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"$name\" value=\"$ele->code\"";	  
  foreach ($checked as $entry) {
if ($entry == $ele->value) { 
  $str .= "checked";
      continue;
    }
  }

All I want to do is to place $id1 instead of the word code!! I can't figure this out I know it is silly and probably really easy...but I'm a newbie...

Any help or suggestions would be excellent!

THANKS!!!

I am not really sure WHAT you have going on here, but I don't see any evidence you are using classes or even any evidence you are at an object oriented level of programming, so I am mystified why you are using all the little arrows. Are you trying to hack up somebody elses code? If so, you would pick this up a lot faster by going through a basic tutorial one step at a time. Believe me, it will make a lot more sense that way.

This code will probably not work either, but it is closer than what you did have:

<?php
$code=$id1;
foreach ($arr as $ele) {
$str .= "<td><input type='checkbox' name='$name' value='$ele.$code'";
foreach ($checked as $entry) {
	if ($entry == $ele) {
		$str .= "checked";
	}
}
?>

This gets the variable out of the string. If you want something more than what's here, read the manual regarding "variable variables".

$str .= "<td><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"$name\" value=\"" . $ele->code . "\"";

Mr. Alaska:

Well that kinda works but it returns the literal and not the actual value?

This returns the Literal value="Object.description"
<?php
$code=$id1;
foreach ($arr as $ele) {
$str .= "<td><input type='checkbox' name='$name' value='$ele.$code'";
foreach ($checked as $entry) {
if ($entry == $ele) {
$str .= "checked";
}
}
?>

This returns the Actual Value:
<?php
$code=$id1;
foreach ($arr as $ele) {
$str .= "<td><input type='checkbox' name='$name' value='" .$ele->$id1 . "'";

foreach ($checked as $entry) {
if ($entry == $ele) {
$str .= "checked";
}
}
?>

Hope this helps someone else!!
