[SOLVED] Concatenate help

[psychowolvesbane]

I have a line and I want to get it so that the value of CampusID is "Campus & value of NumberOfRecords+1".

 

But I'm not sure on the correct concatenate method.

 

$CampusID = "Campus" '.' $NumberOfRecords+1';

 

($NumberOfRecords is 2 btw)

$CampusID = "Campus".($NumberOfRecords+1);

Your syntax is wrong, this is correct:

 

$CampusID = "Campus " . $NumberOfRecords+1;

or

$CampusID = "Campus" . " " . $NumberOfRecords+1;

 

. (dot) is used to join strings and variables together so the correct syntax is like:

 

$new string = "string" . "anotherstring" . $variable . "yet another string" . $andavariable;

No it hasn't worked, I have $NumberOfRecords as 1 and I used both

 

$CampusID = "Campus " . $NumberOfRecords+1;

 

or

 

$CampusID = "Campus" . " " . $NumberOfRecords+1;

 

and the value for $CampusID I am getting is just "1".

What, you didn't try mine?
