Simple question (I think)

Hi,

Can anyone tell me why the following code returns this:

The name of the person

Instead of this:

The name of the person that signed up for a demonstration below you in last 24 hours is as follows :

$num_lastday = '1';


$list = "The ".$s = ($num_lastday == '1') ? 'name of the person' : $num_lastday.' people'." that signed up for a demonstration below you in last 24 hours ".$s = ($num_lastday == '1') ? "is" : "are as follows"." :";

echo $list;

Thanks,

try this

$list = "The ". ($s = ($num_lastday == '1') ? 'name of the person' : $num_lastday.' people') ." that signed up for a demonstration below you in last 24 hours ". ($s = ($num_lastday == '1') ? "is" : "are as follows")." :";

Perfect! Worked like a charm! Thanks
