Hi Guys
Really simple question. How do I change the following:
print("value='" . $attributes["messageSubject"] . "'");
to have double quotes around the subject field instead. i.e.:
print("value="" . $attributes["messageSubject"] . """);
you have to escape the doublequotes in question - this is done with a backslash:
print("value=\"" . $attributes["messageSubject"] . "\"");or like this if you find it more readable (avoids the backslashes):
printf('value="%s"', $attributes["messageSubject"]);actually you can do loads of funky things with printf() and its brother sprintf() etc - check out the manual for all the formating codes (e.g. '%s') that are available
lastly, learn what string interpolation is and why it is technically neater to only use doublequotes to delimit your php strings when you want/require string interpolation to happen.
--- ParrotTalk: I think that this topic of string interpolation/quotes deserves 'parrot' attention.... which made me think that maybe the parrot could parse for markers (that if added to an email by an autorized poster) would mark the post/thread as suitable material for 'training' the 'parrot'
