[RESOLVED] PHP code error

[cdmafra]

I think it's very simple, but I am stuck in this PHP error:

<?php
$news_date= echo $row['news_date'];
$hour= echo $row['hour'] "GMT";
$copyright= if ($row['copyright'] <> Desconhecido) echo "Copyright Imagem: " . $row['copyright'] .;
?>

Returns: "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO in /www/users/m/o/t/motorracingnews/index.php on line 117"

You cannot assign an [man]echo[/man] statement to a variable.

What are you trying to accomplish? Do you want to print the items in [font=monospace]$row[/font]? or assign their values to other variables?

From the code snippet below, I DON'T want to show the $row["copyright"] ONLY when the value is "null". And so I thought that the best way to accomplish was to define the variables previously, however I forgot that it's not possible to assign the echo to a variable. Any solutions?

<p id="data"><?php echo $row["news_date"]; ?>, <?php echo$row["hour"] ;?>&nbsp;GMT<br/>Copyright imagem:&nbsp;<?php echo $row["copyright"] ;?></p>

Add an if() statement around the echo statement in the code you posted above such that it only gets executed under the conditions you desire.

I already tried:

<p id="data"><?php echo $row["news_date"]; ?>, <?php echo$row["hour"] ;?>&nbsp;GMT<br/>Copyright Imagem: <?php if ($row['copyright'] <> Null)    echo "Copyright Imagem: " . $row['copyright'] . ?></p>

But returns me, and I am not seeing the error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /www/users/m/o/t/site/index.php on line 117

You've added an extra trailing period (concatenation operator) at the end of the echo statement.

Meanwhile I found that myself... but thank you very much for the atention! 🙂
