PHP Variables

[shadowayex]

I was wondering if there was a way I could print PHP Variables in the middle of HTML without opening PHP ( <?php ). For example, I have a variable that stores the username of a user and is used to greet the user on the pages. Is there a way I can have it written without typing it like this:Hello <?php echo $user ?>!

No, how else is the parser going to know that you're intending to write PHP?You can also write:<?phpecho "Hello {$user}!";?>

I figured as much. I just didn't want to open php over and over again for each variable on a page. Thanks anyways.

There is HEREDOC syntax if you want to write large strings with variables without having to worry about escaping.

echo <<<EOTYour long string can go here.This is $foo['bar'] and {$foo->bar}.EOT;
