You should give a complete programm so we can run exactly the same you do, like this: <?php $item_amount_in_store = 223; print ("$item_amount_in_store"); Please please please please don't do this!

First of all, I don't know why you would use the print *function* when you can also use the echo language construct (better and faster). But that's not that important; it's not bad to use it, just imo a bit ugly (pet peeve ;)). But more importantly: "$variable" is completely and utterly useless. You're basically creating a string, interpolating a variable in it, and adding no more content. This is effectively the same as saying: print("".$var."") Does that look right to you? To me it looks... wrong... Why not just a simple: echo $var; or print($var) if you really must. And if you really really must cast the variable to a string, you can always use the explicit: (string) $var

$update_amount = 7; $item_amount_in_store += $update_amount; print (" + $update_amount = $item_amount_in_store "); ?> which gives this result: 223 + 7 = 230
