A word of caution - the dot operator has the same precedence as + and -, which can yield unexpected results. Example: <php $var = 3; echo "Result: " . $var + 3; ?> The above will print out "3" instead of "Result: 6", since first the string "Result3" is created and this is then added to 3 yielding 3, non-empty non-numeric strings being converted to 0. To print "Result: 6", use parantheses to alter precedence: <php $var = 3; echo "Result: " . ($var + 3); ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.string.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+41950 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+41950&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+41950&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
