I’m trying to print out the value of a variable within another string.
Here is what I’m trying to do:
$output = '<section class="cards cards--$alignment background--black">'
$alignment has the value of left or right. The above renders when inspecting:
<section class="cards cards--$alignment background--mint">
I have also tried:
$output = ' <section class="cards cards--'.$alignment.' background--black">'
But this renders:
<section class="cards cards-- background--black">
And have also tried:
$output = ' <section class="cards cards--{$alignment} background--black">'
But this renders:
<section class="cards cards--{$alignment} background--mint">
I have tried all methods I’ve seen on other SO questions, but can’t get it printing the value?
>Solution :
This code of yours should work
$output = ' <section class="cards cards--'.$alignment.' background--black">'
If it doesn’t then the $alignment variable is just empty or doesn’t exist, try an "echo $alignment" before your $output line to see if you get something.
