' and this "

Bluewalrus:
Twey means something like:

Code:

---

<?php
$var = "Hello";
if($var == "Hello"){
?>
You said Hello!
<?php
}
?>

---

Would that work for this? say $name was from a form on the previous page and was declared here.

PHP Code:

---

<?php
$var = "Hello";
if($var == "Hello"){
?>
You said Hello $name !
<?php
}
?>

---

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Code:

---

<?php
$var = "Hello";
if($var == "Hello"){
echo "You said Hello {$name} !";
}
?>

---

No - that would not work...
@Twey, it's .net not .org:
http://www.smarty.net/

Kind of, but think of it in terms of the HTML and format accordingly, and you need to re-enter PHP parsing mode to output a variable. PHP also includes an alternative syntax for blocks to make this more readable (you get an ADA-like 'comb'):

Code:

---

<?php
  $var = 'Hello';
  $name = 'John';
?>

---

And the output:

Code:

---

<?php if ($var === 'Hello'): ?>
  You said hello, <?php echo $name; ?>!
<?php endif; ?>

---

Ah, you're right, Nile. Thanks! :)

Edit: When formatting, I like to indent PHP blocks one block above the current element, since they tend to semantically associate with the outer element:

Code:

---

<div>
  <p>
  <?php if ($var === 'Hello'): ?>
    You said hello!
  <?php else: ?>
    You didn't say hello.
  <?php endif; ?>
  </p>
</div>

---

Um.. it doesn't work.

Only the $name bit didn't work; the idea bluewalrus was asking after (wrapping a piece of HTML in a PHP block) does. Sorry for the confusion; I've edited to make it clearer. :)

Ok.. sorry. :D
Also, your link has a .org, instead of .net(smarty).

Thanks, I fixed it :)
