Why is my PHP string being converted to 1?
- by animuson
Ok, so here's the quick rundown. I have a function to generate the page numbers.
This:
<?php
die($ani->e->tmpl->pages("/archive", 1, 15, 1, true));
?>
will output Single Page like expected.
But this:
<?php
$page_numbers = $ani->e->tmpl->pages("/archive", 1, 15, 1, true);
?>
<?= $page_numbers ?>
will output a simple 1 to the page. Why is it getting converted to a 1? I would expect it to store the 'Single Page' string to the page_numbers variable and then output it (like an echo) exactly the same.
EDIT: Running a var_dump($page_numbers) returns int(1)...
Here is the entire function in context:
<?php
// other functions...
function show_list() {
global $ani;
$page_numbers = $ani->e->tmpl->pages("/archive", 1, 15, 1, true);
ob_start();
?>
<!-- content:start -->
<?php
$archive_result = $ani->e->db->build(array("select" => "*", "from" => "animuson_archive", "orderby" => "0-time", "limit" => 15));
while ($archive = $ani->e->db->fetch($archive_result)) {
?>
<h2><a href="/archive/article/<?= $archive['aid'] ?>/<?= $archive['title_nice'] ?>"><?= $archive['title'] ?></a></h2>
<!-- breaker -->
<?php
}
?>
<?= var_dump($page_numbers) ?>
<!-- content:stop -->
<?php
$ani->e->tmpl->process("box", ob_get_clean());
}
// other functions...
?>
