RE: [PHP] Variable question

I think you're misunderstanding my question. I'm pulling $user_data["username"] from a databse so the string my user name is $user_data["username"]" is exactly as the database hands it to me. I know how to simply concat information. -Justin -----Original Message----- From: "Jack Dempsey" <dempsejn@georgetown.edu> Sent: Monday, May 07, 2001 12:55 PM To: King, Justin; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP] Variable question you can do it a couple ways... echo "my user name is " . $user_data["username"]; or echo "my username is ${user_data["username"]}"; -----Original Message----- From: King, Justin [mailto:KingJ@superior.k12.wi.us] Sent: Monday, May 07, 2001 3:49 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Variable question How can I evaluate a variable in a string?
