Subject: [WEB400] Help trying to display a PHP variable within HTML tags
I want to display a PHP variable on the top of my page with my headings. I
have searched on the internet, and have not found a way to show the php
variable within my html tags. If I use text in the heading, it works. But
when using a variable, nothing shows. I have tried many variations. I know
there is something in the data area, because it works if I move it to my
main body of php code.
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.php" type="text/css">
<TITLE>Sheriff Consolidated Inquiry</TITLE>
</head>
<h1 class=bigbluetext font size="+2"> Sheriff System Consolidated Inquiry
</h1> <?php
$ret = i5_data_area_read("smpxxlib/so01p", 1, 40);
echo "<H2 class=bigbluetext> $RET </h2>";
?>
<form method="post">

<?php
if(isset($_POST['ppname'])){

} catch (Exception $e) {
echo "Failure to connect";
echo $e->getMessage();
die();
}
$fdname=$_POST['ppname'];
