[SOLVED] Little problem

[LiamProductions]

Hey.

 

I made a script to randomize a slogan to echo out to the browser. But... instead of echoing the slogan line it echos the random number i was wondering whats wrong heres the script:

 

		<?php

	$slog1 = "Liam's website";
	$slog2 = "Liam's production website";
        $slog3 = "Quick loading website";	
	$slog4 = "Liam Can help you today";

	$n = rand(1,4);

	echo "<p>$slog$n</p>";

	?>

[timlondon]

Should it be echo $slog.$n ??

[LiamProductions]

No the number is trying to pick like slog1...

 

and i tried the . in the middle and it just prints out .4                  [it echos out a random number]

[timlondon]

What about:

 

$new = "slog".$n;

echo $new;

[timlondon]

Put it into an array:

 

$slog[1] = "Liam's website";

$slog[2] = "Liam's production website";

$slog[3] = "Quick loading website";

$slog[4] = "Liam Can help you today";

$n = rand(1,4);

echo $slog[$n];

that just echo's out slog.number [number being the random one]

[LiamProductions]

Put it into an array:

 

$slog[1] = "Liam's website";

$slog[2] = "Liam's production website";

$slog[3] = "Quick loading website";

$slog[4] = "Liam Can help you today";

$n = rand(1,4);

echo $slog[$n];

 

 

Thanks, got it working now

I know this is solved, but Just to let you know in order to get your last setup to work you'd do this:

echo '<p>' . ${'slog' . $n} . '</p>';

 

The technique is called variable variables.
