defining a variable

mixing a variable and a string

[KrazyKid]

This is what I need to do:
$filename = '$member' + '.inc';
How do I do this? Thanks

[bcolflesh]

$filename = $member.'.inc';

I just wanted to add that what you are asking about is know as concatenating strings. The above will fix you up just right.

How do I do this correctly?
echo '$game' + '/' + '$filename';
Thanks

<?
echo $game . '/' . $filename;
?>

One more way:

echo "$game/$filename";

If you echo the variable between ' ' then it is put as string. If you put it between " " then it is parsed as a variable:

<?php
$var = "This is a test";
echo 'This is a variable: $var<br>';
echo "This is what is inside: $var";
?>

Also to ensure that you are doing everything correctly you can put the variable outside of the string:

echo "This is what is inside: ".$var."<br>";

As you see the concatenation in php is a dot (not plus as in javascript).
