[SOLVED] echo

[ainoy31]

I am either too tire to think or not seeing it.  I have a echo statement as follows:

 

echo "Flight request date: " . "$date = $flight['Dept Date']";  does not display as suppose to.

 

I am missing something?

echo "Flight request date: " . "$date = $flight['Dept Date']";

 

The above should never be done....

 

either

 

$date = $flight['Dept Date'];

echo "Flight request date: " . $date;

 

or Flight request date:

echo "Flight request date: " . $flight['Dept Date'];

 

That said I would suspect you get output like the following:

Let's assume $filght['Dept Date'] == "Sept 31 2007"

 

The output would look like "Flight request date: = Sept 31 2007". This would happen because everything is enclosed in quotes.

If you dropped the quotes around $date = $flight['Dept Date'] it would work right.

<?php

$date = $flight['Dept Date'];
echo "Flight request date: " . $date;

?>

do $date = $flight['Dept Date'] before the echo...

then

echo "Flight request date: " . $date;
