RE: [PHP] combining text with $_POST

2003-04-05 Thread John W. Holmes 
 Hi all, how can I combine this line to use just 1 echo statement?
 
 echo Name: ; echo $_POST['name']

The period is used for string concatenation:

echo Name:  . $_POST['name'];

Many ways you can do it:

echo Name: {$_POST['name']};
echo 'Name: ' . $_POST['name'];
echo Name: $_POST[name];
echo 'Name: ' . $_POST[name];
etc...

Thank you all for the quick response. I was using this method and now I 
finally see my error which was I forgot to put the  .  before  $_POST

As you all can see, im relativly new to PHP and I think I'll thank you all for 
putting up with me now instead of later.. : - )

you also really don't need single quotes in the $_POST...

echo Name: $_POST[name];

.. should work.

cheers,

 you also really don't need single quotes in the $_POST...

(if the variable is within a string delimited by _double_ quotes)
 
 echo Name: $_POST[name];
 
 .. should work.
