Skip to comments (10) PHP echo
Posted by ckuron on Oct 31 2005 @ 12:50  :: 1769 unique visits

Yesterday I've learned something new in PHP.

CODE: PHP
<div>
<?= $row['field'] ?>
</div>


is equivalent to

CODE: PHP
<div>
<? echo $row['field'] ?>
</div>


Obviously I know that many people know that, but it could be useful for the minority which don't :P

It's not equivalent in its readability.

Why on earth do you use that? Ive investigated before and i cant see any draw backs to using the
CODE: PHP
<?=  ?>
method. When flipping in and out of html, it makes it so much easier to read. For any one who doesnt know, you can also do this:
CODE: PHP
<? if ($torrents == 'happiness') { ?>
      put your html here
<? } ?>

If anyone knows of any reasons why my practise is bad practise, please say so!

I use long PHP openings tags.
CODE: PHP
<?php ?>

instead of:
CODE: PHP
<? ?>

Then it will also work on servers which has short tags disabled.

To echo something i use:
CODE: PHP
<?php
   echo "jada";
?>

come on
he is just joking
he could even write sumtin like this:
<?php eval("eval(\"eval(\"eval(\"[and so on...]\");\");\");"); ?>

and by the way his code contains some errors, he should've escaped the double quotes inside echo
