Problem with this..

[Richard]

PHP Code:

$piconeloc = "blah.jpg";
$piconew = "250";
$piconeh = "150";
$piconealt = "blah blah";

$desc = str_replace("*picone*", "<img src=\"/images/$piconeloc\" width=\"$piconew\" height=\"$piconeh\" alt=\"$piconealt\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\">", "$desc");

echo "$desc"; 


This just echoes:

<img src="/images/" width="" height="" alt="" align="right" border="0">

Why isn't it including the info in the $'s? They definately exist.

Try:

PHP Code:

$piconeloc = 'blah.jpg';
$piconew = '250';
$piconeh = '150';
$piconealt = 'blah blah';

$desc = str_replace('*picone*', '<img src="/images/' . $piconeloc . '" width="' . $piconew . '" height="' . $piconeh . '" alt="' . $piconealt .'" align="right" border="0" />', $desc);

Well how about being sa bit more constructive and try to suggest a subject title that could have been used? I can't think of one.

Do you not take into account the fact that some people are not that good at asking questions or thinking up complicated subject titles?

[marek_mar]

If we would take that into account you will have to take in account that you will get now anwser.

You are the one that want's something not us.

Complicated?

Subject: PHP echo problems

That didn't seem too complicated to me.

But... did it fix it? I take it it did, 'cos you don't seem too bothered about it anymore.

Yes thank you it's fine now.

btw spookster it was a str_replace problem, and it is a php forum so no need to put php in the subject eh :P

The easiest way to come up with a proper subject is to type in your question or code and then look through that for keywords or code statements. "Problem with str_replace" or "str_replace not working" would have been just fine as a subject line. The more specific the better. The reason we stress proper subject lines is because when people use our search feature and come up with a list of 50 results they will want to be able to sift through the subject lines of the results without having to open each and every thread to see if the thread is related to their problem.

I would have called it "str_replace not replacing" or something similar

[raf]

i would have called it:

"embedded values not showing in doublequoted string used in str_replace()"

Right... bit long winded for me. Each to there own though

[raf]

i already trimmed it down from

"terrible codingproblem with embedded variables' values that are not showing in doublequoted string that serves as the replacevalue in the str_replace() function i am using, is giving me a headache"
