php string concat

[anybody]

Hello,

Simple question here....

I am trying to concatenate 2 strings but it doesn't seem to work. My only
experience in in C and VB 6.0.

PHP newbie!

I am getting a value from an option group for the exact shoe size , then
appending it to the form action string, or at least I am trying to.

The form calls a small fx to set a variable - $size - to the assigned
value from document.order_shoe.size.value.



Code:


<form action = "../shop_cart.php?item='.$sansz." name='order_shoe'
method = post onsubmit='return setsize();'>

<br>&nbsp&nbspSize:&nbsp

<select name=size>
<option value="">Select a size</option>
<option value="mhr0109">9</option>
<option value="mhr0110">10</option>
<option value="mhr0111">11</option>
<option value="mhr0112">12</option>
</select>
<p align="left">
&nbsp&nbsp
<input type="submit" value="Add to cart" >
</form>


Thz for the help!

To concatenate two strings, use a period, eg:

$completestring = $part1.$part2

Hope this helps.

I assume your <form...> is not enclosed in the PHP tags <?php ... ?>. It
should read
<form action = "../shop_cart.php?item='<? echo $sansz; ?>'
name='order_shoe'
Unless you are inside the PHP tags, you are dealing only with HTML. PHP
simply echos everything in the file unless it's enclosed in the php tags,
then it's interpreted as PHP code.

You also have an HTML error:
<br>&nbsp&nbsp;Size:&nbsp
The semi-colon is required or the &nbsp will not be displayed as a space.
