how to get the value into a variable?

  • When this code runs it prints a word called “MyCategory”

    <?php the_taxonomies(array('before'=>'<span class="categories" style="font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;">','sep'=>'</span><span class="tags">','after'=>'</span>')); ?>

    I want to get this word “MyCategory” in to a variable called $my_variable
    How to do this?

    I tried this way. But its not successful.

    <?php $my_variable = the_taxonomies(array(‘before’=>'<span class=”categories” style=”font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;”>’,’sep’=>'</span><span class=”tags”>’,’after’=>'</span>’)); ?>

    <?php echo $my_variable ?> // NOT success

    Need help!!!

  • You are missing a semi colon at the end of your echo. I just ran this and it works fine for me:

    <?php $test_variable = the_taxonomies(array('before'=>'<span class="categories" style="font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;">','sep'=>'</span><span class="tags">','after'=>'</span>'));
    echo $test_variable; ?>

    You don’t need a semicolon there if you’re closing off PHP

    Try taking this bit of your code away:

    <?php echo $test_variable; ?>

    And seeing the output

    That’s the problem.

    My apologies, didn’t entirely think that one through. What you could do is use get_the_taxonomies instead and extract the returned array as you see fit.

    i want to compare the variables

    if(strcmp(the_taxonomies(array('before'=>'<span class="categories" style="font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;">','sep'=>'</span><span class="tags">','after'=>'</span>')) , "MyCategory")
{
   echo "OK";
}
else{
  echo "NOT OK";
}

    Since the words are not matching, it always shows “NOT OK”

    How can i get the output “OK”?

    please let me know how to use this get_the_taxonomies with this example
