Is this right?

[Anon]

Someone told me that the problem with the following script (I'm trying to get the sum of $a and $b printed) was that I didn't add quotation marks: (I didn't fully understand what I was advised)

<?php

$sum = $a + $b;

echo $sum

?>

So does that mean I simply alter the second line down to...

$sum = "$a + $b";

?? Then will echo $sum display the sum of the two added together?

Cheers, Andy :o)

actually - exactly backwards.

"$a + $b" is a string, NOT php code gets executed.

echo "$sum";
