If I output the $variableexample PHP code below, The divs are outputted as text on the screen.

$variableexample = "<div>" . VARIABLE01 . VARIABLE02 . "</div>";

Is there a way to out put them as HTML?

thanks

Jason

I an not sure I really understand the example.

To output html via php one uses:

echo "the string to be displayed including tables";

print "the string to be displayed including tables";

both do the same thing.

This is the actual code I'm using

 $products_options_display_price= ATTRIBUTES_PRICE_DELIMITER_PREFIX . $products_options->fields['price_prefix'] . $currencies->display_price($new_attributes_price, zen_get_tax_rate($product_info->fields['products_tax_class_id'])) . ATTRIBUTES_PRICE_DELIMITER_SUFFIX;

This gets output many times through the site so I want to change it as it is below with the tags.

 $products_options_display_price= "<div>" . ATTRIBUTES_PRICE_DELIMITER_PREFIX . $products_options->fields['price_prefix'] . $currencies->display_price($new_attributes_price, zen_get_tax_rate($product_info->fields['products_tax_class_id'])) . ATTRIBUTES_PRICE_DELIMITER_SUFFIX . "</div>";

Is there a way to do this. I did try ?> <div> <?php but that makes it crash.

As in the javascript thread.

You can't put divs inside option elements.

yes, of course. I don't know why I said DIV i meant SPAN, or EM. I was just using it as an example. sorry bad example.

sorry to repeat the text above. I'm just trying anyway to do it. It's code within Zen cart.

Assuming "ATTRIBUTES_PRICE_DELIMITER_PREFIX" is the "(" character, your example should be correct but use single quotes [ ' ] around the string literal rather than double quotes.

No that doesn't work. The outputted code in the source is...


<option value="1">test01&lt;em&gt; ( +&pound;50.00 )&lt;/em&gt;</option>

I think this means that something like stripstrings() (or something similar) is being used in the code.

The code below....

<?php echo "\n" . $options_menu[$i]; ?>

out-puts the text below this text

Matt Encapsulation ( +&pound;29.90 )

Is there a way to replace the brackets here?

PHP Code:

$brackets = array("(", ")");
$newtext = array("<em>(", ")</em>"); 


In a global config file


then

PHP Code:

<?php echo "\n" . $options_menu[str_replace($brackets , $newtext , $i)]; ?>

Not tested BTW just "thinking aloud" at the keyboard

Yes! it worked. I had to make a small adjustment to....


<?php echo "\n" . str_replace($brackets , $newtext , $options_menu[$i]); ?>


thanks

I've just learnt the hard way that tags eg <em> don't have any effect inside form tags e.g. <option> tags. Is there anyway around this?

None probably, you can use a style attribute but it will affect the whole of the text.

Other than that it would be to write your own drop down list and populate a hidden form input with a javascript onclick.
