Dear Group,

In the past I read something, that it is possible to print out php
variables in html very fast with a simple symtax.

Today I came back to php documentation, but I cannot find it anymore

Its something like

<?php

echo $variable ;

?>

just much shorter.

Can anybode help me ?

You may be thinking of <?= $variable; ?>

But this requires short_open_tag be enabled, which can conflict with
xml. Most hosts have it off now.

And the difference in speed printing the variable is virtually
unmeasurable. So it only really makes a difference to the programmer.

<?=$variable?>

See http://de3.php.net/echo

But it works only if short open tags are enabled - and unless you have
full control over the PHP config (php.ini), you cannot rely upon this.
And even if - your code would not be portable.

Alternatives:
<?php o($variable) ?>
with function o ( $variable ) { echo $variable; } or
<?php $view->variable ?>
with function __get ( $what ) { echo $this->$what; }

Greetings,
Thomas

Another possible solution might be the heredoc syntax:

echo <<< EOT
<body>
<h1>$title</h1>
<p>$text</p>
</body>
EOT;

That last one is something I definitly use often for smaller sites,
however, your first solution seems quite useless as a simple echo would
suffice as well. Defining obscure functions just to save typing 5
characters every coder knows and understands does not only souns useless
to me, as far as I am concerned I consider this very bad practise.

True, o() is just syntactic sugar, but as the OP didn't want to use
echo... Personally, I prefer the second variant. The disadvantage of
using heredoc is that you cannot, e.g., loop over an array to produce
table rows within the heredoc.

Thomas
