php code in &quot;echo&quot; call

php code in "echo" call

earswithfeet

Hi,

i am working with templates, which i put into a string and in the end i make the output with

echo $user_screen;

where $user_screen would contain the template file data.
However, if the $user_screen contains any php code it gets echo'ed as well, instead of parsed.
(ok, that sounds logical),
but is there a way i can make php parse the php code within a string?

thx

zmola

maybe this will help?

<?
$today = gmdate("D j M y G:i T");
$timeola = "$today<br><!--- current gmt time --->";
?>
<html>
<body>
<?=$timeola?>
</body>
</html>

Hm,

if i use the above as my template file -> $user_screen, then i get the exact same as the output, instead of seeing the value of the variable.

I think the problem is the "echo", hm... , maybe "include" instead of "echo" will work?
...although include wants a file and not a variable, i guess...

ok, so i am still lost here 😃
