Collapse-o-matic in a php template – use a variable?

    Collapse-o-matic is working just fine in my php template-file when I hard-code the “hidden” text:

    <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[expand title=”DESCRIPTION”]description[/expand]’); ?>

    But what I’d really like to do is have the text in a variable:

    <?php $x=the_content();
    echo do_shortcode(‘[expand title=”DESCRIPTION”]$x[/expand]’); ?>

    Why doesn’t that work?! What should I be doing?

    Thanks!

    <?php
$content = apply_filters( 'the_content', get_the_content() );
$content = str_replace( ']]>', ']]>', $content );
echo do_shortcode('[expand title="DESCRIPTION"]'.$content.'[/expand]');
?>

    Thank you so much!

    Hello,

    long time after the original question but I encounter almost same problem:

    I need to put the shortcode in my php code but the content is something like:

    <form action="" class="myclass" method="mypost" enctype='multipart/form-data'>
<table width="100%" class="myclass2">
		<?php

		foreach ( $args as $item) {
<tr>

					<td>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
}

    Any help ?

    Hi. this thread is resolved, so best to start a new one.
    keep in mind, the code you included, is not logical, as it will loop through the items and keep closing your table and form.

    if you do start a new thread, please be very detailed in what you are trying to achieve.
