I deliberately gave a simple example, perhaps too simple. I want to output quite long
and complicated strings that may involve evaluated variables, calls to functions etc.
But I also want it to as legible as possible. But even something simple along the
lines I quoted gives me problems. See the following code and its output
<?php
$test=1;
echo $test++ . "<BR>";
echo $test++ . "<BR>";
$test=1;
echo "Value of test: $test++ <BR>";
echo "Value of test: $test++ <BR>";
?>
The output:
1
2
Value of test: 1++
Value of test: 1++
In the second set of code lines, what I need to do is somehow bracket off the $test++
so it is evaluated before being echoed.
