a variable in HTML

in the form action i have the following line\

<form action="{URL}" method="post" target="_self" id="xxx" name="xxx">

when rendered in the browser it becomes

action="/abc/17224_pb/HTTP/index.php" 

this is just HTML. I cannot see anywhere the {URL} has been defined and anyway you cannot have variables in HTML (can you?)

i thought it might be jquery but it would need to be in a script ??

Where does it come from?开发者_JS百科 How is it defined?

This code is not really in a framework but we do have some Zend framework code around.

Edit: Doh! templating engine. Well smarty is definitely not there but some of the Zend framework is included in the project so i am going to assume that is where it is originating.

I traced the build of the page and Zend is the only thing included that could be the engine. Thanks guys.

Your html must be running on some sort of template engine that replaces that token with the real url.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_engine_%28web%29

Most likely there is a template engine being used such as Smarty or some custom template mechanism or many of them out there.

looks like something a templating engine would replace with the appropriate content

search through your code for html-file name, there should be template-engine call or something :)
