How to Display a PHP Variable in HTML in an Echo?

Question

I have the following part of a PHP code below.

echo '

echo $rows['name'];

echo $rows['lastname'];

echo $rows['email'];

';

I am trying to echo a row from a database, but it's not working. How can I echo the $row variable in the code?

Answer 1

The only thing Azrael forgot to mention is WHY echo '$variable' is wrong!



PHP does NOT parse variables enclosed in SINGLE QUOTES.

Answer 2

You can continue using single-quotes throughout the entire code but you just have to escape the current string sequence



echo '

echo $rows['name'];

'.$rows['lastname'].'

echo $rows['email'];

';



Notice I took out the echo right before $rows. This is because you already started the echo before . Also i used a single-quote to close the current string and then a period to begin concatenation. Next is concatenating the rest of the sting by using a period followed by a single-quote.

I'm answering this from top of my head so it may not be accurate. But try something like this.

echo "

". $rows['name']; . "

". $rows['lastname']; ."

". $rows['email']; . "

";

echo "

Answer 4

echo "$variable" ; // OK

echo $variable; // OK

echo '$variable' ; // Wrong

echo " ".$variable." ";// OK

echo ' '$variable.' '; //OK



So you can :



Method 1 :

echo "

$rows['name']

$rows['lastname']

$rows['email']

";



Method 2 :



echo "

$rows['name']

$rows['lastname']

$rows['email']

";



Method 3



echo "

" . $rows['name'] . "

" . $rows['lastname'] . "

" . $rows['email']. "

";



Method 4



echo "

"; echo $rows['name'] . "

" . $rows['lastname'] . "

"; echo $rows['email'] . "

";



There are at least 12 methods doing this with the echo function .
