Variables

[Anon]

Hi! Could anyone please eplain the difference in meaning of $game, '$game' and "$game" if I have a variable called $game.

Lets suppose $game has this value:
$game = 3;

($game) means the number 3.
("$game") is pretty much the same thing, but it is now handled as a string rather than an integer.
('$game') means a string with a dollar-sign and then the word "game". This is because if you put text in single quotes, it will not be interpreted in any way.
