Explain what this 3 lines of code means?

chrisj

Can you tell me what this code does, exactly, specifically? Thanks.

$target_path = "extrafiles/";
$target_path = $target_path .
$SESSION["orderid"]."".basename($_FILES['extraattached']['name'][$x]);

It sets the value of the variable $target_path to the literal string extrafiles/ followed by the value of $SESSION['orderid'] followed by the base filename (see [man]basename[/man]) of the pathname in $FILES['extraattached']['name'][$x].

$target_path = "extrafiles/";
$target_path = $target_path .
$SESSION["orderid"]."".basename($_FILES['extraattached']['name'][$x]);

Be careful about that "." bugger. Concatenation in PHP is difficult to notice in a font other than Courier or other system fonts. The developer of that script is paying close attention to the actual width of his script, which is good, because it allows for comments to be placed to the right of the code, instead of interspersed in the code itself.
