Submit Button with Variable

[cdherold]

phpbuilders,

I'd like to have the submit button say "Buy it for $x", but i can't seem to get the myrow["price"] variable into the value descriptor of <input type=submit>without getting a parsing error.<p>

My current code (below) will print out the price and then the button that says "Buy it."<p>

<code>
Printf("<td>");
Printf($myrow["price"]);
printf("<input value=\"Buy It\" type=submit>");
Printf("</tr>");
</code>
<p>
Can anyone help out with this?<p>

thanks, cdherold

Try this instead...

Printf($myrow['price']);

That still won't put the value of $myrow["price"] on the button. Try this:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Printf("<td>");
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;printf("<input value=\"Buy It %s\" type=submit>", $myrow["price"]);
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Printf("</td>");

The printf() method accepts the string to print using "%s" as a variable placeholder. The variables used to replace all the occurances of "%s" are specified as secondary, tertiary, quaternary, etc. arguments after the print string. For more info, read the section of the PHP manual on the printf() method. HTH.
