Variable in a text string.
I realize this is a stupid question, but I honistly can't find the answer. I'm working on some PHP script for the LotR Action Figure Storybook and can't find out how to have PHP recognize a variable in a string of text.
Specifically, I want "if (file_exists("images/$bookafs_$page$one.jpg")) {"
to see $book as the variable, not $bookafs as the variable. How do I do that?
PHP Code:if (file_exists('images/' . $book . 'afs_' . $page . '' .$one . '.jpg' )) {
Thank you so much. I actually remeber that notation from Kevin's book, but was confused on how it worked.
No problem. there are no stupid questions friend. If there were then I'm sure Iv'e asked them all allready.
Alternately
PHP Code:if (file_exists("images/{$book}afs_{$page}{$one}.jpg" )) {

Yeah, that never looks right to me so I don't do it that way. Just a matter of preference I guess.
I agree in general, but there are special cases where I find the brace notation preferable.

Actually, I think in this case, the braces would have been easier to work with, but I got it working!
would have worked too.Originally Posted by anode
