Assigning variable to variable problem

[thefollower]

I am trying to add a variable to my string but it won't work because of the format i have. This is what i got:

 

$Multiply = 0000;

 

$Numbers = '0.';<?=$Multiply?>'5';

 

Echo $Numbers should then show:

0.00005

 

How ever my syntax is wrong but i am unsure how do it.. the decimal dot i think is causing the problem..

 

I have short tags on..

You have a semi colon in the middle you need to remove.  That for sure would stop it, but not sure if it will do what you expect.

Give this a try.

 

$Numbers = '0$Multiply5';

Give this a try.

 

$Numbers = '0$Multiply5';

 

that just creates 000005 which isn't correct.

 

I have a text field in my database which has "0000"

 

which then is inputted to create the decimal place position

Yeah I removed the . so put that back in and it will work.

 

$Numbers = '0.$Multiply5';

Actually, if you use single quotes, then it would echo 0.$Multiply5.  Use double quotes to parse the variable.

$Multiply= "0000";

$Numbers = "0." . $Multiply . "5";

echo $Numbers;
