It's a problem, however, if you want to include a PHP variable in that echo
statement, if you're populating a SELECT menu with a loop, for instance;
$menu_options = array("A" => "Option 1", "B" => "Option 2", "C" => "Option
3");
foreach(array_keys($menu_options) as $option_value){
$option_text = $menu_options[$option_value];
echo '<OPTION VALUE="$option_value">$option_text</OPTION>';
}
would just output
<OPTION VALUE="$option_value">$option_text</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="$option_value">$option_text</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="$option_value">$option_text</OPTION>
which is probably not the desired output :) You need to use double quotes
for variable substitution. Unfortunately, if you want to maintain XHTML
compliance the tag attributes have to be double-quoted too...
echo "<OPTION VALUE=\"$option_value\">$option_text</OPTION>\n";
(Might as well add a "\n" at the end of the line for readability in the
browser's 'View Source' window!)
