php strings, simple problem

LiquidHotMaagma

I had this in the other forum, but I think this more closelyt relates.

<?php echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"iso-8859-1\"?".">"; 
$filename1 = "index.php";

?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title><?php 
$filename2 = "index2.php";
echo $filename1;
echo "$filename1";
print $filename1;
print $filename2;
?></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
</head>

<body>
</body>
</html>

Do variables not transfer between the php code sections?

The output is I get is: index2.php

Yes, they do work. The variables are available anywhere in the page, no matter how many times you weave in and out of php. Example:


<?

$greeting = "hello";

?>

<b>This is the greeting page</b><br><br>

<?

$name = "danny";

?>

<h1><?= $hello . " " . $name; ?></h1>

That code will print 'hello danny'

You echo/print filename1 three times, then print filename2 once. You should get

index.phpindex.phpindex.phpindex2.php

You're only getting

index2.php????

Actually, part of that code won't work. The $hello var is undefined. I believe that you meant to do it this way.

<h1><?= $greeting . " " . $name; ?></h1>

I'm not being a faggot, I've just never had the chance to correct a mod. 🙂

lol. No you're right. I was thinking of the word hello, rather than the variable name I assigned. Good catch.

But seriously, do that again and I'll ban you. jk 😃

Try this:

<?php echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"iso-8859-1\"?".">"; 
$filename1 = "index.php";
$filename2 = "index2.php";

?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title><? 
echo "$filename1";
echo "$filename1";
echo "$filename1";
echo "$filename2";
?></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
</head>

<body>
</body>
</html>

Now the title of your page should be:
index.phpindex.phpindex.phpindex2.php

actually, the problem came with me doing all that code before the doc type was defined and such. I moved it after the html tag and it worked fine.

the only reason I had it echoed/printed so many times was to show you that it wouldn't work any of the three ways.
