The manual is not nearly enough reference for a beginning students. You illustrate the problem with quotes in your example above-- why double quotes with no variable being interpolated? The . is the documented string operator for concatenation... that's one of the reasons I dislike the unneeded parentheses with the print function-- then I have to explain-- before I want to-- arguments to functions, which is necessary to explain the comma. c -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
