echoing a $vboption via the script

[sabret00the]

i'm wondering why this won't work

PHP Code:

         $grps_pagetitle = "Groups @ $vboption[hometitle]"; 


i though ok if that won't work

PHP Code:

     $grps_pagetitle = "Groups @" . '$vboption[hometitle]' . ""; 


but that just had the same results as

PHP Code:

     $grps_pagetitle = "Groups @ \$vboption[hometitle]"; 


i'm wondering what i'm doing wrong.

Single quotes don't parse variables, which is the main difference from double quotes.

This form is preferable:

PHP Code:

$grps_pagetitle = "Groups @ " . $vboption['hometitle']; 


Always use single quotes for constant array keys, no exceptions. I hate how vB's templates rely on deprecated methods to access arrays.

Also, note that

PHP Code:

. "" 


...does nothing at all.

Also, I just recalled that @ has special meaning in PHP (it surpresses warnings and errors). Be careful when using it.

thanks, although the vboption[hometitle] still doesn't echo, if i type it into a template it echo's fine, just not via the script directly?
