concat not working

[tjmbc]

$first_friend = "Bobby";

$relationship = " is friends with ";

$first_half_of_string = "Ricky";

 

$second_half_of_string = " who".$relationship.$first_friend;    Returns: who is friends with Bobby

 

$full_string = $first_half_of_string.$second_half_of_string;  Returns: Ricky who

 

Why is the full string "Ricky who is friends with Bobby" not returned? The string stops at who...?

it does for me.

 

$first_friend = "Bobby";
$relationship = " is friends with ";
$first_half_of_string = "Ricky";

$second_half_of_string = " who".$relationship.$first_friend;

echo "second_half_of_string: $second_half_of_string<BR>";

$full_string = $first_half_of_string.$second_half_of_string;

echo "full_string: $full_string";

 

output:

 

second_half_of_string: who is friends with Bobby

full_string: Ricky who is friends with Bobby

It works for me too, but why shouldnt it work anyway. And what the hell are those half a mile long variables.

The OP's concept of rationally-named variables that are easy to understand when you look at code in six months' time

 

Clearly, what's posted here produces exactly the desired result. If the OP isn't getting the same result, then likely their code is different, or not uploaded to the server, etc.

Thats a good practice and i usually use it, but those are exagerated on any standart
