New String Problem

[seran128]

The code from phoogle says

[code]$map->addAddress('210 Doster Ave, Mooresville, NC 28115',"<em>This is another address</em> that is italic");[/code]

I want to add a description from my database to the end of my string that I am sending to google

My Code

[code]$description = "<br>Date:".$row["date"]."<br>Description:".$row["description"];
echo $description;
$map->addAddress("$row[address1],$row[city],$row[state] $row[zip],$description");[/code]

The page returns

Date:12/8/06
Description:Fri-Sat 8am-4pm Sun 1pm-4pm call for Directions 850-xxx-xxxx

The problem is in your call here:
[code]$map->addAddress("$row[address1],$row[city],$row[state] $row[zip],$description");[/code]

It takes TWO values, but you have everything enclosed in double quotes so it is interpreted as a single value. You can verify that by looking at the location value in the query string of the error message. Try this:

[code]$map->addAddress("$row[address1],$row[city],$row[state] $row[zip]",$description);[/code]
