I have this code
$text = "Hello $person";
$persons = array("Mike", "Tom", "Foo");
foreach ($persons as $person) {
echo $text."<br>";
}
The goal is to display:
Hello Mike<br>
Hello Tom<br>
Hello Foo<br>
I thought about using {} and $$, but that doesn't seem to be ok. What am I missing?

You're assigning $text to a string that includes $person, but $person isn't defined yet (you should be getting a Notice: Undefined variable message). You could define $text within the loop, like many other answers suggest. But your code sample might look more familiar with sprintf:
$text = "Hello %s";
$persons = array("Mike", "Tom", "Foo");
foreach ($persons as $person) {
echo sprintf($text, $person) . "<br>";
}
sprintf() will allow you to format a string by passing a parameter to it.
This should achieve it.
$persons = array("Mike", "Tom", "Foo");
foreach ($persons as $person) {
echo "Hello " . $person . "<br>";
}
To make this simpler you could do
$persons = array("Mike", "Tom", "Foo");
foreach ($persons as $person)
{ echo "hello".$person."<br>";
}
Or you would do
$text = "Hello";
$persons = array("Mike", "Tom", "Foo");
foreach ($persons as $person)
{
echo $text." ".$person."<br>";
}
Just append hello using foreach the way i am doing is somehow very similar!
$persons = array("Mike", "Tom", "Foo");
foreach ($persons as $person) {
echo "Hello " . $person. "<br>";// Remove text and append Hello + break tag ofcourse
}
Outputs:-
Hello Mike Hello Tom Hello Foo
Let be a little creative, probably not the best, but it is one liner.
$persons = array("Mike", "Tom", "Foo");
echo vsprintf(str_repeat("Hello %s<br>", count($persons)), $persons);
Another one liner can be achieved with implode
echo "Hello" . implode("<br>Hello ", array("Mike", "Tom", "Foo")) . "<br>";
Note that my solution is not recommended, but it would be boring to have same answer as other people.
Try this:
$persons = array("Mike", "Tom", "Foo");
foreach ($persons as $person) {
$text = "Hello $person";
echo $text."<br/>";
}
$text is outside foreach, for that reason $person wasn't echoed
echo "Hello ".$person."</br>";instead. No need for the$textstring then
