Question

Part of the login script for the linkedIn API reads as follows:

<script type="in/Login">
Hello, <?js= firstName ?> <?js= lastName ?>.
</script>

Unfortunately, when I save the page as a .php file, the <?js piece of the code is throwing an error. However, if I save the file as .html, there is no error and the login with linkedIn button shows up just fine.

Am I missing something obvious here? Is there a way to put this button on a php page?

For reference, the error that I’m seeing reads:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘=’

Answer 1

try:

<script type="in/Login">
Hello, <?php echo '<' . '?js= firstname ?' . '>' ; ?> <?php echo '<' . '?js= lastName ?' . '>' ; ?>.
</script>
