Hi!

How can I print .echo out a simple PHP rpint statement using ee template.

It seem to to take php code, but it wont print .

for example I am trying to echo ” authors $authors
“; in EE

Any sugestion why it wont print out the value?

Enable PHP in the setting for the template and use:

<?php echo " authors $authors
"; ?>

somewhere inside your template (assuming you have set $authors somewhere before).

Thanks That worked.

I am also trying to search different catgories based on regions, authors and by topic from a combo box.

Authors     Regions     Topics
=======    ========    ===========
Auth1 |    |Reg1 |    |  Topic1 |
Auth2 |    |Reg2 |    |  Topic2 |
Auth3 |    |Reg3 |    |  Topic3 |
=======    ========    ===========
I have 3 combobox one for regions, one for authors and one for topics to search from the categories. or they can select a author , a region or a topic etc

Is there anyway to search them based on the above ? This is my code below( right now it returns all.

<?php
// Add * before query strings so that STRPOS will never return a 0 which might be interpreted as false when actually the string was found.
{!--
$authors = '*' . $_REQUEST['authors'];
$regions = '*' . $_REQUEST['regions'];
$topics = '*' . $_REQUEST['topics'];
--}
$authors = ‘All’;
$regions = ‘All’;
$topics = ‘All’;
$empty=true;

echo ” Author: $authors
Regions: $regions
Topics : $topics
“;

//set cookies for back button
$auth = str_replace(array(’*’), “”, $authors);
$regn = str_replace(array(’*’), “”, $regions);
$topc = str_replace(array(’*’), “”, $topics);
setcookie(“authorCookie”, $auth, time()+3600);
setcookie(“regionCookie”, $regn, time()+3600);
setcookie(“topicCookie”, $topc, time()+3600);
?>
