[PHP] Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting ',' or ';' in

[Mark Sargent]

Hi All,

I get the error for line 15 for this code,

?php
15 echo font face='$_SESSION['font']';
16 echo  size='$_SESSION['size']';
17 echo  color='$_SESSION['colour']';
18 echo $_SESSION['text'];
19 echo /font;
20 ?

I have put ' ' quotes around the   quotes for each font attribute so 
that the parser doesn't think the echo is finished too early. Is that 
wrong? I know that this code would get tedious for lots of text and CSS 
would be better, but, it's just a little study project from the book I'm 
following. Cheers.

any of these will work:
 echo font face='.$_SESSION['font'].'; //note the . before and 
after the variable.

 echo font face='{$_SESSION['font']}';
 echo font face='$_SESSION[font]';//no quotes around the index key

Hi All,

sorry, I forgot the fundamentals again,

. variableName .

echo font face=' . $_SESSION['font'] . ';

and no   around the variable in an echo statement when no other text 
in it.


echo $_SESSION['text'];

Cheers.
