Question

i am new to PHP and i have got an issue with dynamically loaded HTML-content. I've designed a price label, which i want to be stored in one PHP-file, to make changes apply to every position on the website:

<?php
$preisschild_a = "<div class="centered"><h3>Komplett ab</h3></div><div class="preisschild redbg"><div class="preis">";

$preis_neo = "1.000,- €";
$preis_vision55 = "1.000,- €";
$preis_vision80 = "1.000,- €";
$preis_pult = "3.699,- €";
$preis_ultra = "1.000,- €";
$preis_beamcase = "1.000,- €";

$preisschild_b = "</div><div class="preis-subline">zzgl. MWST</div></div><div class="centered"><h3>Infos und Bestellung:</h3><span class="rot block"><h3>05252/9778511</h3></span></div><hr>";

?>

As you can see, i've cut the whole code into 3 pieces, to assemble it on the website again:

<?php echo "$preisschild_a"; ?>
<?php echo "$preis_pult"; ?>
<?php echo "$preisschild_b"; ?>

The fact is, that the whole page keeps beeing white. It does not work anyway.

Where's the bug? Thanx in advance!

parse errors but you're not checking for them http://php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php — Funk Forty Niner, Jun 01 '15 at 10:27

You can't have a " character in a string starting with " unless you escape it (\").

Re-write them so they look like this:

$preisschild_a = '<div class="centered"><h3>Komplett ab</h3></div><div class="preisschild redbg"><div class="prei">';

or

$preisschild_a = "<div class=\"centered\"><h3>Komplett ab</h3></div><div class=\"preisschild redbg\"><div class=\"prei\">";

Make sure to do the same for $preisschild_b.

You can also have " inside a ', but you can't have the same type of quotes unless first escaped with \.

Also, to echo variables, you don't have to put them in quotes. eg:

<?php echo $preisschild_a; ?>
<?php echo $preis_pult; ?>
<?php echo $preisschild_b; ?>

You can put them in double quotes and they will parse normally, but will not do in single quotes.

eg:

<?php echo '$test';?> //$test

*"Also, to echo variables, you don't put them in quotes."* - Nota: variables do parse in double quotes, just not single quotes. – Funk Forty Niner Jun 01 '15 at 10:29

Thanks, will clarify. I had also meant to say you don't *have* to put them in quotes so I'm glad you caught that thanks :) – Albzi Jun 01 '15 at 10:29

You're welcome Alex. – Funk Forty Niner Jun 01 '15 at 10:31
Maybe also as a smal side notice that you can use shorttags if shorttags are enabled in `php.ini` – bish Jun 01 '15 at 10:34
You should use single-quotes around the string and double quotes inside for the HTML. – Celoain Jun 01 '15 at 10:36

First you need something like this:

<?php
$preisschild_a = "<div class=\"centered\"><h3>Komplett ab</h3></div><div class=\"preisschild redbg\"><div class=\"preis\">";

$preis_neo = "1.000,- €";
$preis_vision55 = "1.000,- €";
$preis_vision80 = "1.000,- €";
$preis_pult = "3.699,- €";
$preis_ultra = "1.000,- €";
$preis_beamcase = "1.000,- €";

$preisschild_b = "</div><div class=\"preis-subline\">zzgl. MWST</div></div><div class=\"centered\"><h3>Infos und Bestellung:</h3><span class=\"rot block\"><h3>05252/9778511</h3></span></div><hr>";

?>

And after, when you echo:

<?php echo $preisschild_a; ?>
<?php echo $preis_pult; ?>
<?php echo $preisschild_b; ?>

(without quotes: " or ')

*"(without quotes: " or ')"* - why not? Double quotes are fine. – Funk Forty Niner Jun 01 '15 at 10:29

Mashup with double and single quotes;

Replace all " with ' in all div elements

Use this

<?php
$preisschild_a = "<div class='centered'><h3>Komplett ab</h3></div><div class='preisschild redbg'><div class='preis'>";

$preis_neo = "1.000,- €";
$preis_vision55 = "1.000,- €";
$preis_vision80 = "1.000,- €";
$preis_pult = "3.699,- €";
$preis_ultra = "1.000,- €";
$preis_beamcase = "1.000,- €";

$preisschild_b = "</div><div class='preis-subline'>zzgl. MWST</div></div><div class='centered'><h3>Infos und Bestellung:</h3><span class='rot block'><h3>05252/9778511</h3></span></div><hr>";

?>
