Question

What is the best way to put this expression:

echo isset($GLOBALS['_url']) ? htmlspecialchars($GLOBALS['_url']) : ''

inside this parameter:

<?php
    echo "
    <input type='text' value=' *INSERT EXPRESSION* ' />
    ";
?>

I’m not sure what the best way to deal with the quotes inside of quotes, so any help is appreciated. I’m aware that this can be avoided by changing the overall syntax, but nevertheless, given these restrictions, how can I best do this? Thanks for your help!

Simplest way to do this…

<?php
    $exp = isset($GLOBALS['_url']) ? htmlspecialchars($GLOBALS['_url']) : '';

    echo "<input type='text' value=' $exp ' />";
?>
