Re: GET / POST

What I really would like to know is how do I change this line to a PHP4 compatible line without having the register_global set to on. The orginal code is $msg = "Sender Name:\t $sender_name\n"; I've tried these: $msg = "Sender Name:\t $_POST['sender_name']\n"; $msg = "Sender Name:\t" $_POST['sender_name'] "\n"; $msg = "Sender Name:\t"+ $_POST['sender_name']+ "\n"; The first two I get a parse error, the last I get the value 0. I can easily do $msg = $_POST['sender_name']; , but some how I can't get it to work with text added. I even figured out an echo statement by doing echo "blah blah",$_POST['varible']."blah". However it doesn't work for assigning a varible. perhaps $msg = "blah"; $msg .= $_POST['varible']; $msg .="blah blah" would work? I haven't tried that yet. I am assuming .= is some sort of appending or concatintating operator.
