[SOLVED] Putting a variable in URL of $upload_path

[alconebay]

How would I put a variable in the URL of $upload_path?

 

I want this:

 

$myvariable = thumbnail

$upload_path = "../pics/$myvariable-image/"

 

To send the image being uploaded to:

 

../pics/thumbnail-image/

 

But its not working with the variable (it works if I put "thumbnail" in place of the variable, so the script is fine). Should I format the variable differently? I tried quotation marks around it, parenthesis.... No go.

You need to enclose thumbnail in quotes, and add a semi-colon:

 

$myvariable = 'thumbnail';
$upload_path = "../pics/$myvariable-image/";

$myvariable = 'thumbnail';
$upload_path = "../pics/$myvariable-image/";

Either that or:

$myvariable = 'thumbnail';
$upload_path = "../pics/".$myvariable."-image/";

Works! Thanks. I had the " ; "s but not the " ' "s around the variable.
