What's wrong with this.. $text.( ...

$z3 = "juice";


$text = "";

if ($firstname == "z") {
	$text.=('. $z3 .'); 
}

echo $text;

PHP:

Text should echo 'juice'

Hmm.

 

$firstname is not defined and hence its value is blank ('').
that is why if condition will become false leaving $text unchanged

 

There's more to the script, $firstname is set.. But it's echoing this.

. $z3 .

 

please post more part of script to help us determine what is wrong!

 

Obviously this isn't right..

$text.=('. $z3 .');

It should be something like $text.=($z3);

but that produces an error.

 

Nevermind I worked it out. Had some error elsewhere.

FML.
