PHP and wp custom fields ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh help

I´m fucking about in wp with custom fields calling the video url for the flowplayer plugin and I´m getting Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING on.....

Code:

<?php

 flowplayer('[flowplayer src=<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, '_wpb_video', true); ?>]');

 ?>

but

Code:

<?php flowplayer('[flowplayer src=/videos/example.flv]'); ?>

works

so I assumed its because I´m calling php again on the echo..
I tried

Code:

<?php flowplayer('[flowplayer src=echo get_post_meta($post->ID, '_wpb_video', true)]'); ?>

but get Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING on..... again

it´s not pulling the echo so I tried $string

This doesn´t break anything I actually get the page but it pulls echo as the filename

Code:

<?php

$string= " <?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, '_wpb_video', true); ?> ";



 flowplayer('[flowplayer src=echo $string;]'); ?>

so I tried

Code:

 <?php

$string= "flowplayer('[flowplayer src=";

$string .="echo get_post_meta($post->ID, '_wpb_video', true)";

$string .="]')";

echo $string;

 ?>

which gives me

Code:

flowplayer('[flowplayer src=echo get_post_meta(142, '_wpb_video', true)]')

which seems to work codewise, but its posting it as text with "" surrounding it, rather than php.

so do I need to include <?php and ?> in the string? and it so how?
or how do make it so it s doesnt post the code within ""

if I do something like

Code:

 <?php

$string= "<?php flowplayer('[flowplayer src=";

$string .="echo get_post_meta($post->ID, '_wpb_video', true)";

$string .="]')" ?>;

echo $string;

 ?>

it doesnt complete the code due to the first ?>;

But because of my limited php knowledge thats me stuck.. anyone got any ideas.

Code:

flowplayer('[flowplayer src=<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, \'_wpb_video\', true); ?>]');

Its quotes - but not those ones - Maybe I can do it in the morning...

Did you actually echo the function??

wow that was quick.. thx for the replies.

The flowplayer is pulled as

Code:

<?php flowplayer('[flowplayer src=videos/example.flv]'); ?>

which is how they tell you to on their site
foliovision. com/seo-tools/wordpress/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer

and works, it´s when I start messing with the content, switching it to pulling from a custom field it all goes pear-shaped and that is getting pulled on an echo.

Code:

<?php flowplayer('[flowplayer src=<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, '_wpb_video', true); ?>]'); ?>

or did you mean something else?

I tried

Code:

]<?php flowplayer('[flowplayer src=<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, \'_wpb_video\', true); ?>]'); ?>

the player parses now but pulls the vid url as sitename.com/<?php

thx.

Something like this should work php wise :

<?php
$postMeta = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_wpb_video', true);
?>

flowplayer('[flowplayer src=<?php echo $postMeta ?>]');

<?php
flowplayer('[flowplayer src=<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, '_wpb_video', true); ?>]');
?>

You're getting the parse error because you are trying to php echo inside an already open php call.. Try to concatenate the strings instead. :upsidedow

that returns the correct code

Code:

flowplayer('[flowplayer src=/2/2E/2EBBC2H3H0/8/0/7/1/c11708/fb43ba21e2/11708_01/01/11708_01_120sec_00.mp4]');

but as text if I php this flowplayer('[flowplayer src=<?php echo $postMeta ?>]'); it shows the player but doesnt pull the correct url for the vid it returns sitename.com/<?php... as the video

Serves me right for trying to be clever.. hehe.

Solved it :GFYBand

Code:

<?php

        $vid = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_wpb_video', true);

        $splash = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_wpb_poster', true);

{ echo flowplayer( '[flowplayer src="' . $vid . '" width=580 height=326 splashend=show splash="' . $splash . '" autoplay=true]'); } ?>

Incase anyone ever needs to pull a vid from a custom field using flowplayer in wp.
this works.
