[RESOLVED] Variables in html script

[jamescorbett]

the varibles work but they just don't come up as variables

<?php
print '<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" width="550" height="400" align="absmiddle">
<param name="movie" value="flvplayer.swf?file=vids/encoded/$filename.flv">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000099">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<embed src="flvplayer.swf?file=vids/encoded/$filename.flv" width="640" height="480" align="absmiddle" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" bgcolor="#000099"></embed>
</object>' 


?>

Please help.

you need to read up on strings and how to use single and double quotes.

Thanks For The Link Resolved

you can't echo variables inside single quotes, but if you use double quotes you will need to escape all the other double quotes inside so try something like this--

print '<object classid="clsid😃27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" width="550" height="400" align="absmiddle">
<param name="movie" value="flvplayer.swf?file=vids/encoded/'.$filename.'.flv">

do '.$variablename.' part everywhere there is a variable and read up on the link provided in above message

Thankyou all
