Embedd HTML code from PHP variable

Question

After more than 3 hours searching in google, I found that ppl do the other way around of what I am doing but anyway, here is what I want to do:

I have a variable $location which contains an HTML code (embedded google map code) i.e.

<iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0"  
        marginwidth="0" src="https://www.google.com/maps/ms?........in a larger 
        map></iframe>

now in a php code, how can i get the map to be displayed? the following outputs the HTML code as text

<?php echo $loation; ?>

Thanks!

You spelled your variable name wrong $loation; - should be $location;. Assuming you set your variable correctly like $location = '...';, you should be fine. Can you please post the code where you set the variable? — Revent

lol, you are right, it is $location, and thanks for the hint, it was defined as $info['location']; while it should have been html_entity_decode($info['location'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); — DrNeo

You spelled your variable name wrong $loation; - should be $location;. Assuming you set your variable correctly like

$location = '...';

OR using heredoc syntax:

$location = <<<STR
<iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0"  
        marginwidth="0" src="https://www.google.com/maps/ms?........in a larger 
        map></iframe>
STR;

you should be fine.
