Concatenation of a random integer

[zarathu]

$someInt = rand(10000, 90000);

$stuff = "whatever blah blah blah $someInt more blah blah blahs";
echo($stuff);

For some reason, the above doesn't work the way it should.  It prints the string perfectly, BUT it won't show $someInt!

Try:
[code]
$someInt = rand(10000, 90000);
$stuff = "whatever blah blah blah " . $someInt . " more blah blah blahs";
echo($stuff);[/code]

although it works fine with me as well.

Works fine for me.

Are you getting any error messages?  What result are you getting?

$newID = rand(10000,90000);

//inserts shittles... watch me rule again.
$bullshit = "INSERT INTO $mySQL_table ($mySQL_idField, $mySQL_strField) VALUES ($newId, $data)";
//$query = mysql_query($bullshit);
echo($bullshit);

^ That's the ACTUAL code that I'm trying to execute, but it just won't work.  Also, Philip, your method doesn't work either.  When I try to echo($newID) on its own, it prints it fine.  It just won't concatenate.

maybe you need to use single quotes around your values:


$bullshit = "INSERT INTO $mySQL_table ($mySQL_idField, $mySQL_strField) VALUES ('$newId', '$data')";

if that doesn't do the trick put at the top of your code: error_reporting(E_ALL); and also: $query = mysql_query($bullshit) die("Error ". mysql_error() ." with query ". $bullshit); 

that should help in finding out what is causing the problem.

If that is your actual code... it's because you have 2 different variables:
$newID
$newId
(notice the D's are different)

Oh my God, I KNEW it was because of something BLATANTLY stupid!


Thanks!  >.<

Ugh, I'm used to compiler errors because I'm a Java/C/C++ programmer.  Gah!

Thats what happens when you type a tad too fast ;)
