Help with simple Print Variable

[todayme]

I have managed to get the values of the drop down boxes using java script.  I have put them into a variable and now I am trying to see if they pass to the PHP script below.  I am a beginner, can someone tell me what I am doing wrong with the script below.

 

<?

 

$dbindustry = $cool_industry

$dbstate = $cool_state

 

 

Print '.$dbindustry.'

Print '.$dbstate.'

 

?>

[dsaba]

it should be $dbindustry = $cool_industry;

 

missing a semicolon

Okay done that but what about the print part why does it not print the contents of the variable instead it prints what is in the code.

[kenrbnsn]

Remove the quotes from the statements. Variables within single quotes are not evaluated, but are treated as literals.

 

<?php
Print $dbindustry.'<br>';
Print $dbstate;
?>

 

Remember, all PHP statements end with a semi-colon.
