adding a space?

[grail]

Im useing the $word = $var.$var method to join to words together, how can I get a space to appear in between the two words when they are echoed? Im still looking for the answer but any pointers could help. Thanx!

Not positive but try

&nbsp where you want the space to go.

[Anon]

why didn't that work?? "&nbsp" is what you need where you want the space

[Anon]

sorry it's actually printing the space rather than the code it's "&" followed by "nbsp" try that where you want the space.

Actually its $var." ".$var, just found it on one of my only moldy books

[amcgrath]

or $var = $var1 . " " . $var2;

Quite strange that you know how to stick to vars together, but did not try to use the same method with a string :-)

Nah, this method is inefficient because php will look for variables within the soft quotes. Use hard quotes for more optimized code. (real anal, I know)

What strings that vince?

The space ofcourse.

It seems a small step from this:

$sOne = 'this';
$sTwo = 'that';
echo $sOne.$sTwo;

To this:
$sOne = 'this';
$sTwo = 'that';
$sSpace = ' ';
echo $sOne.$sSpace.$sTwo;

To this:
$sOne = 'this';
$sTwo = 'that';
echo $sOne.' '.$sTwo;

Or even simpler:
$sOne = 'this';
$sTwo = 'that';
echo $sOne;
echo ' ';
echo $sTwo;

  is a special space in HTML, the php parser wont understand that character when formating the word. You could probably put it in the quotes around the space and it would not hurt anything, but its not nessesary to use it. Im sorry, I should have been more specific in my request. My bad Leena.
