Help with variable output

[dcjones]

Hi all,

If I have the following line of script:

echo translate($serviceno, $servicepwd, $text, $srclang, $trglang);

How do I format the above into the following:

echo "<td colspan=\"2\"><textarea name=\"results\" cols=\"80\" rows=\"10\" id=\"translated\"></textarea></td>";

I am trying to make the first ech statement appear in the textarea.

Can you help please.

Regards

Hi,

there are several ways:

$translated =  translate($serviceno, $servicepwd, $text, $srclang, $trglang); 
echo "<td colspan=\"2\"><textarea name=\"results\" cols=\"80\" rows=\"10\" id=\"translated\">$translated</textarea></td>"; 

or

echo "<td colspan=\"2\"><textarea name=\"results\" cols=\"80\" rows=\"10\" id=\"translated\">".translate($serviceno, $servicepwd, $text, $srclang, $trglang)."</textarea></td>"; 

or

$translated =  translate($serviceno, $servicepwd, $text, $srclang, $trglang); 
echo <<< EOHTML
<td colspan="2">
    <textarea name="results" cols="80" rows="10" id="translated">
        $translated
    </textarea>
</td>
EOHTML;

or

<?PHP
$translated =  translate($serviceno, $servicepwd, $text, $srclang, $trglang); 
?>
<td colspan="2">
    <textarea name="results" cols="80" rows="10" id="translated">
        <?=$translated; ?>
    </textarea>
</td>
