xyph Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Variables are parsed within a double-quoted string. http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.syntax.double As you can see in the manual, in order to get a literal $, you must escape it with a leading backslash.

lovephp Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 ok i explain again Global $cid01; Global $cid02; now $cid01 and $cid02 got email id stored in variable and $cid = $_SESSION['cid']; fetches only cid01 without $ when i add like this $to_company = "$cid01"; email sends but when i try $to_company = "$cid"; no email gets send Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/269131-hlp-adding-a-to-string/#findComment-1383023 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyph Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Why not use the example that works then. The language barrier here seems too large to overcome. I'm really lost.

ManiacDan Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 You're doing it wrong. SOmewhere, some how, you're doing it wrong, but we honestly can't figure out what because none of this makes any sense. What do you HAVE: Show us the current value of $_SESSION['cid']. By itself. Not in a paragraph, not in a line of code, inside a [ code ] box by itself. What do you NEED: Show us the line of code without a variable in it that works. If you want $to_company = 'abc123' but $cid = 'abc', show us that.

lovephp Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 i really apologize for my way of writing. im not very good in explaining things. i actually want $to_company = 'abc123'; to be like want $to_company = '$abc123'; but currently its not happening the way i am doing $cid = $_SESSION['cid']; $to = $fData['email']; $to_company = "$cid"; the code above only prints $to_company = 'abc123'; i believe Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/269131-hlp-adding-a-to-string/#findComment-1383027 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManiacDan Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 ANSWER THE QUESTION I gave you very specific instructions. Inside a box. NOT IN A PARAGRAPH. NOT IN A LINE OF CODE We're not magic.

kicken Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 It sounds to me you want variable variables, which is also a 'You're doing it wrong!' situation. If I'm understanding right you have for example: $cid01 = 'some content'; $cid02 = 'some other content'; And then then $_SESSION['cid'] contains a value like 'cid01'; which you want to use to find that variable, eg: $cid = $_SESSION['cid']; //(ex 'cid01') echo $cid; //(you want to echo 'some content'; The syntax for that would be: $cid = $_SESSION['cid']; //(ex 'cid01') echo $$cid; //double-dollar sign However as mentioned, this is the wrong way to do it. Rather than numbered cid varibles, use an array to store you're content, then just index into that array: $cidcontent = array( 'some content', 'some other content' ); $cid = $_SESSION['cid']; //stores the number 1 for example echo $cidcontent[$cid]; //outputs 'some other content'; Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/269131-hlp-adding-a-to-string/#findComment-1383036 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovephp Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 and what if you do global $cid; just winging it here without seeing the full code. global $cid would not work because cid only gets like string like cid01 from the form but Global $cid01 is in the config file which got email id stored against it Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/269131-hlp-adding-a-to-string/#findComment-1383039 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManiacDan Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Ok I'm done with you, I asked way too many times for the value of $cid and you just can't figure out how to answer me. Perhaps PHP is not for you. You don't have a variable called $cid. That's pretty obvious. You have $cid01. Why not just use $cid01? You have code that works. How is "ok it works" not the end of the conversation?
