How do I use single quotes inside single quotes?

Question

Can anyone explain how to make this code work?

echo \'
Welcome 
\'         


        

Answer 1

echo "
Welcome ".$_SESSION['username']."
";

or

echo '
Welcome '.$_SESSION['username'].'
';

Quick Explain :

• You don't have to reopen the tags inside a echo String (" ... ")
• What I have done here is to pass the string "Welcome " concatenated to $_SESSION['username'] and "" (what the . operator does)

• PHP is even smart enough to detect variables inside a PHP string and evaluate them :

  $variablename = "Andrew";

  echo "Hello $variablename, welcome ";

=> Hello Andrew, welcome
