There was a long thread on this only yesterday, under the heading "String
format problem". The online archives will carry it shortly, if they don't
already, and it is well worth a read, especially the post by Satyam


That thread was very interesting, and while Satyam's advice was very 
true and thought-provoking, you must remember (as one reply mentioned) 
that you are talking about optimisations that save you about 0.1ms or so...

 I thought you joined strings with a full stop '.' (a period if you are from 
the US).


You are passing multiple parameters to the 'echo' language construct. 
The '?' is just a string, and is interpreted just like any other string 
in PHP. That will print out the value of $PHP_SELF followed by 
?&action=something


By the way, you really shouldn't have register_globals turned on. And 
you also really shouldn't top-post.

do somehthing

this seems to work but can someone explain the syntax to me what does a '?' 
and a ',' do in PHP?

 I thought you joined strings with a full stop '.' (a period if you are from 
the US).
