Ridiculous ..won"t print or echo ...

Ok in my output to Quark I need to have $P printed to the page like this:

<@$p>2118 S. Campbell Ave

So in my php which is going to be grabbing this info and formatting it for
the Quark....isn't echoing that "$p" all I get is the <@>

I have tried several things:

$p =3D $p

$p =3D print("$p")

$p =3D echo "$p"

On and on...

tried all kinds of ways to just get a $p to print to the page.....and I can
not for some reason get a $p to print to the page...what's up with that...

Try with $p = '$p' to store the string $p inside the $p variable. Or, use
"echo '$p'" (without the double quotes). $p = echo "$p" makes no sense, as
the echo function doesn't return anything, and you're trying to store the
returning result (none) into the variable $p.

PHP is seeing the $ and thinking that $p is a variable. As you have
errors and notices turned off, you aren't seeing the notice that you are
trying to use an undefined variable.

There are several ways to get round this:

* escape like \$
* put the $p inside of single quotes in your echo
* use an escape code for the dollar

"$p" is trying to interpolate the value of the variable $p -- if you had fu=
ll error reporting turned on, you would see a nonexistent variable error. O=
nce more, there are several things you can do, of which the two most obviou=
s are:

* Use single quotes: echo '$p';

* Use a backslash: echo "\$p";
