[SOLVED] $page_id = $news $cid; possible?

[y2yang]

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this?

 

Can I do this? $page_id = $news $cid;

 

<?php
if(!isset($_GET['Pid'])) {
$cid = 1;
} else {
$cid = (int) $_GET['Pid'];
}
$news = "news_";
$page_id = $news $cid;
?>

You need to use the period symbol when concatenating variables like that. Try this:

 

$page_id = $news . $cid;

Though you might of course just want to do

$page_id = 'news_' . $cid;

unless you're going to use $news for something else.

Or go crazy and do this;

 

$page_id = "news_$cid";
