I am a newbie to php. I am working on a existing wordpress site. I want to print the values of a variable $post as output. What is the equivalent of Java's System.out.print in php.
While googling i found the same, system.out.print for php but its not working.
-- Thanks
You can use echo to print something: docs
$_POST is an array, if you want to examine its value for debug purposes use var_dump (docs):
var_dump($_POST);
To access array's elements, use square brackets: $_POST['index']. PHP arrays may be associative, which means they are indexed not only by numbers, but also by strings. $_POST is a pure associative array, indexed only with strings.
To print POST parameter called username use this code:
echo $_POST['username'];
or
echo($_POST['username']);
Both will work because echo is not a function, but a language construct (see docs linked above).
printf("var = %s", $var);
or
echo $var;
or (for objects, arrays, etc)
print_r($_POST);
or
var_dump($_POST);
Check php.net for more!
echo $post...
