PHP in HTML help

[stan77]

I'm trying to embed flash into a webpage. No problem there. But for the source I want to have a variable from php or something else. So far I have:

<?php
$source ='http://www.somethingsomething.com';
?>

<embed src="<?php $source ?>"></embed>


But when I put that in the html editor it screws it up. Could anyone help?

To write the URL into the HTML, you need to do this:

<embed src="<?php echo($source); ?>"></embed>

To output something in php, you need to use either the echo construct or the print function. They are basically the same.

Also, when putting code on the forums, use the [code] [/code], [html] [/html], [php] [/php] tags to properly display and format the code you post.
