Error will display but echo will not.... help

[chrisjchrisj]

In my php, the error will display in the html, but echo will not:

if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST"){
 . . .

if (empty($error) && $_POST['field'] == etc... {

echo "Hello";
$error = "Hello";

. . .
etc.

Any ideas how to get echo to display?

How do you know it’s the error that is displaying and not the echo? Seeing only this code, $error isn’t doing anything except being assigned a value. What’s displayed is probably the echo.

Thanks for your reply.
My bad example. I should have shown this:

echo "Hello";
$error = "Hello There";​

As noted before, you're just assigned a value to a variable, nobody's going to be able to help you without seeing the rest of the code.

$error = "Hello There";​
echo $error;
