I have a php script which contains few variables e.ct "welcome.php"
<?php
$hello = '<p class="fontBlack15">we will collect your rent to co-inside with your student loan payments. </p>';
?>
In another php script "hello.php" i have:
<?php include 'welcome.php';?>
<div id="header"><? echo $hello; ?></div>
This doenst work... and i dont really know much why?
Thank you
This is because XAMPP doesn't allow using the short version of PHP syntax.
<div id="header"><?php echo $hello; ?></div>
You must use <?php instead of <?
Probably you should change
<div id="header"><? echo $hello; ?></div>
into
<div id="header"><?php echo $hello; ?></div>
or change short_open_tag to 1
EDIT
Or if you use PHP 5.4+ you can also simple use:
<div id="header"><?= $hello; ?></div>
to display variable's value regardless of short_open_tag settings
Please check whether your short tags are working. else go to php.ini file and uncomment short_open_tag
Though you did not specify whether your files are in same directory or not? If the answer by Ozan Kurt and Marcin Nabiałek didn't workout for you, then may be your files are in a different directories and for that you have to give directory path in your include e.g.
<?php include '../your_file_path/welcome.php'; ?>
then
<div id="header"><?php echo $hello; ?></div>
