Question

Currently, as an example, I have this php code on one of my pages.

<?php include("codes/games/scripts/titles/angrybirds.php"); ?>

How would I change this to make my variable:

$gametitle = "angrybirds";

work like this:

<?php include("codes/games/scripts/titles/$gametitle.php"); ?>

Thanks in advance for your help!

Answer 1

That code should work as-is, since the . won’t be interpreted as part of the variable name. You can see the output of it here: http://codepad.org/ZbtiOPgB

However, for readability, I would encourage you to either use clear concatenation:

<?php include("codes/games/scripts/titles/".$gametitle.".php"); ?>

Or wrap your variable name(s) in { and }:

<?php include("codes/games/scripts/titles/{$gametitle}.php"); ?>
