Appending

Hello All,

I'm trying to append strings to a variable; however, when i run:

return $summary the page error's out, here is my code, help is appreciated. I think my join is off?

when i do a echo on $summary it returns 0, so to me it does not look like any strings are being appended to $summary, why please?

if ( $first_name == "" ):
$status = False;
$summary = $summary + "Enter First Name!<br>\n";
endif;

if ( $last_name == "" ):
  $status = False;
  $summary = $summary + "Enter Last Name!<br>\n";
endif;

thanks a million

Surely you need to do
$summary = $summary."Enter First Name!<br>\n";

maybe Im missing something...

your coding is a little off too:

if ( $first_name == "" ){
$status = False;
$summary = $summary." Enter First Name!<br>\n";
}

hth

the (.) operator appends a string onto another string....

$string = "HELLO";

$string .= " THERE!";
OR
$string = $string . " THERE!";

<< output << $string = "HELLO THERE!"
