[SOLVED] Really simple, how to display a variable then delimiter then variable

[jaxdevil]

I know this one I just can't remember it. How do I make this:

 

$FinalCat = '$SubSubCat|$SubSubSubCat';

 

Display the actual variable with a | and then the other variable.

 

I.e. if the variable $SubSubCat means 'hello' and $SubSubSubCat means 'goodbye' then I want to make $FinalCat mean 'hello|goodbye'

 

How do I accomplish this?

 

Thanks in advance guys!

Couple of different approaches:

 

echo $foo.'|'.$bar;
//or:
echo "$foo|$bar";

 

Basically, variables inside single quotes are not parsed. That is, if you echo this:

 

echo '$var';

 

Then all that will be displayed is $var. However, they are parsed (and therefore their value is displayed) if inside double quotes. So you either place them inside double quotes or use no quotes at all and concatenate.

That's easy 

 

All you gotta do is type:

 

$FinalCat = $subsubcat."|".$subsubsubcat

 

Edit: Damn! Was slow
