Simple question

[mikawhat]

this will work:
echo "<p>$something</p>";
this will not work:
echo '<p>$something</p>';

what's the correct syntax if i want to use the second case?
i've tried echo '<p>' . $something . '</p>'; but it doesn't work either...

[halojoy]

$something = 'text';
echo '<p>'.$something.'</p>';

should work!

Try:

var_dump($something);

If something is printed then it should work, otherwise you haven't set your variable properly.
