displaying functional php code from within a mysql database

[omro]

Hi All,

I have been building a website that uses template pages which are populated using text stored in a mysql database.

Each of my links is similar to the following:

index.php?page_id=$page_id

However when I bring these links back from my database, the $page_id isn't replaced by the value of the variable.

I tried rewriting things slightly and using a line like this:

index.php?page_id=<?php print($page_id); ?>

And this also doesn't bring back the value of the variable.

I'm probably missing something very simple. If I am missing something blindingly obvious, please could someone tell me. I would be so greatful!!

Thanks,

Owen

Try this...

<?= $page_id ?>
