How to... syntax... this :

[listenmirndt]

$variable= "/directory/file.php?my-places=$row[my-places]";

I cannot remove the "-", I also have alot of rows, I dont want to predefine each one into a variable

if I use : [my-places]
this will return an empty result
if I use : ['my-places']
this will cause a parse error.

What is the correct syntax for this?

Thanks

$variable= "/directory/file.php?my-places=". $row['my-places'];

concatenate the variable onto the string

[listenmirndt]

So if I had many... how would it be :

$variable= "/directory/file.php?my-places=".$row['my-places']&my-name=$row[my-name]";

Thanks!

Thanks, got it figured... I think,

$variable=
"/directory/file.php?my-places=".$row['my-places']
."&my-name=".$row[my-name]";
."&my-house=".$row[my-house]";

you'd do something like this:

$var1 = "string1". $var2 ."string2". $var3 ."string3". $var4;

dots (.) are used to concatenate something. all strings must be enclosed in quotes (either single or double, but they must match). only have the semicolon at the end of the statement.

in next steps you will be needed to add a string or stringvariable to the end of another stringvarible:

$string_var . = "string toadd";
same as
$string_var = $string_var . "string toadd" ;

or

$string_var1 . = $string_var2 ;
same as
$string_var1 = $string_var1 . $string_var2 ;
