php code inside a string?

[fikse]

How can I put php code inside a string? I need to write some php code to a file..... but can't seem to figure out how to escape the php tags....

here is what I have so far...

<?

$data = "

<?

\$feature1 = \"$feature1enter\";
\$feature2 = \"$feature2enter\"; 

?>;


";



?>

well you can insert php code into a file as it is and for string try following:

$php_code = '<? echo "my world" ?> this was php code';

// This will display as it is.
echo $php_code;

yep... but then it won't evalute the two strings I need.... $feature1enter and $feature2enter...

maybe I can joing a few strings together using the two methods...

i did'nt know that you needed to evalute the two strings, but here is the easy way to evalute.

$string1 = 'begin';
$string2 = 'End';
$php_code = '<? echo "my world" ?>'.$string1.','.$string2,' continue';

// This will display as it is. 
echo $php_code

[b]
Output:
[/b]
  <? echo "my world" ?>begin,End continue

yep... thats the way to do it...

$data1 = '<? ';


$data2 = "


\$feature1 = \"$feature1enter\";
\$feature2 = \"$feature2enter\"; 


";

$data3 = '?>';

$datafinal = "$data1$data2$data3";

any programmer will recommand not to create extra non resonable variables .

i mean use same variable like following:

$data = '<? ';


$data .= "


\$feature1 = \"$feature1enter\";
\$feature2 = \"$feature2enter\"; 


";

$data .= '?>';

//this is same as before, only better way of programming your code.
echo $data;
