Trouble Using Variables in Pro Form Shortcode

Hi, I’m new to this community and still very much a newbie. I am trying to generate the Pro Form shortcode using the plugin Shortcode Exec PHP.

This plugin generates a shortcode that I insert in the page. The PHP I’ve written then generates the Pro Form shortcode.

The Pro Form shortcode is generating correctly, but the shortcode is being displayed on the page, it is not being parsed. I’ve used this PHP plugin before on other sites and the shortcode is being parsed before it is displayed, so I know it works.

What am I doing wrong.

<?php
date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');
$days_in_month = date("t");
$price_per_day = round(10/$days_in_month, 2);
$days_left = date('t') - date('j');
$prorated_payment = round($days_left * $price_per_day, 2);
print("[s2Member-Pro-PayPal-Form level=\"1\" ccaps=\"\" desc=\"1A Membership: This month prorated @ \$");
printf("%.2f", $prorated_payment);
print(", then $10.00/Month (recurring charge, for ongoing access)\" ps=\"paypal\" lc=\"\" cc=\"USD\" dg=\"0\" ns=\"1\" custom=\"www.healthsuccesscenter.com\" ta=\"");
printf("%.2f", $prorated_payment);
print("\" tp=\"1\" tt=\"M\" ra=\"10.00\" rp=\"1\" rt=\"M\" rr=\"1\" rrt=\"\" rra=\"2\" accept=\"paypal,visa,mastercard,amex,discover,maestro,solo\" accept_via_paypal=\"paypal\" coupon=\"\" accept_coupons=\"0\" default_country_code=\"\" captcha=\"clean\" /]");
?>

This code prorates the charge for the first month depending on the remaining number of days and inserts the variables into the Pro Form shortcode.

Thanks.

Ok, I figured it out. Here is the solution.

date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');
$days_in_month = date("t");
$price_per_day = round(10/$days_in_month, 2);
$days_left = date('t') - date('j');
$prorated_payment = round($days_left * $price_per_day, 2);
echo do_shortcode('[s2Member-Pro-PayPal-Form level="1" ccaps="" desc="1A Membership: This month prorated @ $' . number_format($prorated_payment,2) . ', then $10.00/Month (recurring charge, for ongoing access)" ps="paypal" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="www.healthsuccesscenter.com" ta="' . number_format($prorated_payment,2) . '" tp="1" tt="M" ra="10.00" rp="1" rt="M" rr="1" rrt="" rra="2" accept="paypal,visa,mastercard,amex,discover,maestro,solo" accept_via_paypal="paypal" coupon="" accept_coupons="0" default_country_code="" captcha="clean" /]');

The key is the do_shortcode command.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Cool. :)

Happy New Year to you too!
