PHP HTML {$variable}

Question

How can i print variable in brackets? Like ip board, for example I have this code:

<?php
$variable = "test";
?>
<div class="test">{$variable}</div>

How can I do this? Not

echo $variable;?>

but {$variable} ! Thanks in advance :3

you want to show a variable without echoing it, oh. so what does "Not echo...." mean? — Funk Forty Niner, Aug 01 '15 at 18:01
Do you mean you want to print `{test}` or you want the `{}` to cause the data to be printed? — Anonymous, Aug 01 '15 at 18:02
You can't do that with raw PHP. You need some other library with such syntax. — Anonymous, Aug 01 '15 at 18:07
@Evaldas777 I think you are looking for a template-engine, e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/tags/twig/info Otherwise you somehow need to let PHP process your file — Rizier123, Aug 01 '15 at 18:09

It's called concatenation and it uses '.' to string things together...

<div class="test"><?php echo '{'.$variable.'}' ?></div>

Are you kidding? You said "print variable IN brackets". Sorry, for trying to help with a poorly worded question. – Justin McKee Aug 01 '15 at 18:10

yes, you can just do it like

<?php
    $variable = "test";
?>
<div class="test"><?= $variable; ?></div>

but if you want to use above approach(your one) you've to use blade templating engine

Nope... I wan't {$variable} – Dewagg Aug 01 '15 at 18:03
you've to use `blade` for that, may be you can start with `Laravel` to achieve that – Mubin Aug 01 '15 at 18:05

**or** create your own `templating system` http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/roll-your-own-templating-system-in-php--net-16596 – a45b Aug 01 '15 at 18:18
