I have some php variables echo out to html page. The php page haves two php include files to. The variables are in a php code block like this <?php echo $variable ?>. How can i get it to echo to the page like this {variable} in the html/php page ?
#php #variable

    im not sure why you would want to call a variable in brackets.

    curly brackets are usually used like this:

    (variable name inside string)
    $str = "Hello ${username}!";

    and
    $number='2';
    ${'variablenumber'.$number} = 'something';

    is the same as
    $variablenumber2 = 'something';


    maybe I misunderstood your question.

    EDIT:
    Oh, i get it now.
    You're talking about template engines.
    search google for 'create a template engine in php'

    <?php echo "{" . $variable . "}"; ?>

    that will give you literally what you asked for, printing {variable}, with variable being the contents of "variable".

      Do not add "variable" after the variable itself.

    You want a template engine like Smarty: PHP Template Engine | Smarty
