    Very fast php variable access in html

    Dear Group,

    In the past I read something, that it is possible to print out php
    variables in html very fast with a simple symtax.

    Today I came back to php documentation, but I cannot find it anymore

    Its something like

    <?php

    echo $variable ;

    ?>

    just much shorter.

    Can anybode help me ?

      <?=$variable? >

      See http://de3.php.net/echo

      But it works only if short open tags are enabled - and unless you have
      full control over the PHP config (php.ini), you cannot rely upon this.
      And even if - your code would not be portable.

      Alternatives:
      <?php o($variable) ?>
      with function o ( $variable ) { echo $variable; } or
      <?php $view->variable ?>
      with function __get ( $what ) { echo $this->$what; }

      Greetings,
      Thomas

          You may be thinking of <?= $variable; ?>

          But this requires short_open_tag be enabled, which can conflict with
          xml. Most hosts have it off now.

          And the difference in speed printing the variable is virtually
          unmeasurable. So it only really makes a difference to the programmer.

              Another possible solution might be the heredoc syntax:

              echo <<< EOT
              <body>
              <h1>$title</h1>
              <p>$text</p>
              </body>
              EOT;

                  That last one is something I definitly use often for smaller sites,
                  however, your first solution seems quite useless as a simple echo would
                  suffice as well. Defining obscure functions just to save typing 5
                  characters every coder knows and understands does not only souns useless
                  to me, as far as I am concerned I consider this very bad practise.

                      True, o() is just syntactic sugar, but as the OP didn't want to use
                      echo... Personally, I prefer the second variant. The disadvantage of
                      using heredoc is that you cannot, e.g., loop over an array to produce
                      table rows within the heredoc.
