There must be something wrong with my PHP, because no matter how much I code the echoes never work properly. I even looked at the php manual and copied the sample code for the echo statement, here is the code:
<?php echo "Hello World";echo “This spans
multiple lines. The newlines will be
output as well”;echo “This spansnmultiple lines. The newlines will benoutput as well.”;
echo “Escaping characters is done “Like this”.”;
// You can use variables inside of an echo statement
$foo = “foobar”;
$bar = “barbaz”;echo “foo is $foo”; // foo is foobar
// You can also use arrays
$baz = array(“value” => “foo”);echo “this is {$baz[‘value’]} !”; // this is foo !
// Using single quotes will print the variable name, not the value
echo ‘foo is $foo’; // foo is $foo// If you are not using any other characters, you can just echo variables
echo $foo; // foobar
echo $foo,$bar; // foobarbarbaz// Some people prefer passing multiple parameters to echo over concatenation.
echo 'This ', 'string ', 'was ', 'made ', ‘with multiple parameters.’, chr(10);
echo 'This ’ . 'string ’ . 'was ’ . 'made ’ . ‘with concatenation.’ . “n”;echo <<<END
This uses the “here document” syntax to output
multiple lines with $variable interpolation. Note
that the here document terminator must appear on a
line with just a semicolon. no extra whitespace!
END;// Because echo does not behave like a function, the following code is invalid.
($some_var) ? echo ‘true’ : echo ‘false’;// However, the following examples will work:
($some_var) ? print ‘true’ : print ‘false’; // print is also a construct, but
// it behaves like a function, so
// it may be used in this context.
echo $some_var ? ‘true’: ‘false’; // changing the statement around
?>
Since I copied this straight from the php web site it can’t be wrong, but just like any other code I’ve done this is what shows in my browser:
"foo"); echo "this is {$baz['value']} !"; // this is foo ! // Using single quotes will print the variable name, not the value echo 'foo is $foo'; // foo is $foo // If you are not using any other characters, you can just echo variables echo $foo; // foobar echo $foo,$bar; // foobarbarbaz // Some people prefer passing multiple parameters to echo over concatenation. echo 'This ', 'string ', 'was ', 'made ', 'with multiple parameters.', chr(10); echo 'This ' . 'string ' . 'was ' . 'made ' . 'with concatenation.' . "n"; echo <<
Can someone please tell me what the problem is? This is enough to drive me insane.
Oh, and if it helps, I’m using WAMPserver.
Thanks.
