Wrapping do_shortcode around additional php code

    Hi, I have some shortcode I’m trying to wrap around some additional php code. Basically I’ve downloaded a plugin that hides/reveals content which I wish to wrap around my comments box.

    The two codes I have is –

    <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[show-hide]’.$text_to_be_wrapped_in_shortcode.'[/show-hide]’); ?>

    I want to replace the ‘$text_to_be_wrapped_in_shortcode’ with the below:

    <?php if ( comments_open() || ‘0’ != get_comments_number() )
    comments_template(); ?>

    Any ideas and help appreciated.

    untested:

    <?php if ( comments_open() || '0' != get_comments_number() ) :
ob_start();
$comments_template();
$comments_output = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
echo do_shortcode('[show-hide]'.$comments_output.'[/show-hide]');
endif; ?>

    Thanks for the code, however I’m getting an error saying:

    Fatal error: Function name must be a string in /homepages/11/d388105143/htdocs…

    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    my mistake, an erraneous $ before comments_template();

    corrected:

    <?php if ( comments_open() || '0' != get_comments_number() ) :
ob_start();
comments_template();
$comments_output = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
echo do_shortcode('[show-hide]'.$comments_output.'[/show-hide]');
endif; ?>
