http_post_var insert

[Anon]

Why does this work:
$vAdres = $HTTP_POST_VARS['adres'];
$query2 = "insert into pleintjes
(plein_nr,adres) values ($vPleinNr,'$vAdres'
)";

and an error is returned here:
$query2 = "insert into pleintjes
(plein_nr,adres) values ($vPleinNr,'$HTTP_POST_VARS['adres']'
)";

error:
Parse error: parse error, expecting T_STRING' orT_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING'

Parse error: parse error, expecting T_STRING' orT_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in

because of wrong coding..

you ever have to write the code as bellow

..values($vPleinNR,'".$HTTP_POST_VARS['adres']."')";

PHP only interpolates simple (scalar) variables when processing quoted strings. Anything more complicated needs to be assembled via concatenation (as Tom shows.)
