Question

I have array

[Company] => Demo Company 1
[First Name] => Test
[Last Name] => Lead 1
[Designation] => This is testing title 1
[Email] => [e-mail]
[Phone] => 242377

I used extract() function so all the index values will become variable names, I also used {} as there are spaces in variable names. But i dont know why its not working 🙁
This ${‘First Name’} returns blank…below is my code

foreach($vals as $value){
extract($value);
echo '<tr><td><a href="edit.php?id='.$LEADID.'">'.${'First Name'}.' '.${"Last Name"}.'</a></td><td>'.$Company.'</td><td>'.$Phone.'</td><td>'.$Email.'</td></tr>';
}

Variable names cannot contain spaces. For reference, read the manual on variables:

A valid variable name starts with a letter or underscore, followed by
any number of letters, numbers, or underscores. As a regular
expression, it would be expressed thus:
‘[a-zA-Z_\x7f-\xff][a-zA-Z0-9_\x7f-\xff]*’

If I were you, I’d just go with a shorter name on the array, so instead of $value use $v or similar. You can also use printf to make the code more readable:

foreach($vals as $v) {
  printf('<tr><td><a href="edit.php?id=%d">%s %s</a></td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td><t\
d>%s</td></tr>',
         $LEADID,
         $v['First Name'],
         $v['Last Name'],
         $v['Company'],
         $v['Phone'],
         $v['Email']);
}
