I can't get the damned variables to stop showing their variable names on the screen, like a variable $stock_quote appears in the HTML as $stock_quote, what the hell am I doing wrong? I'm using Win2K to test a site on my own computer using Apache2, but all variables from MySQL to PHP are just showing up as the variable name and not the value in the HTML.Any help would be nice. example: <?php $price = 1.00 print('the price is: $price') ?> is apprearing as: the price is $price in the HTML instead of: the price is 1.00 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
