Merging two text strings

[stonner]

Hi

I want to merge two text strings. But the following code doesn't work.

$text1 = urlencode($_POST[text]);
$text2 = "Kostenlos von www.SchuelerCommunity.com";
$text = $text1 & $text2;

Do you know why?

Thank you for your help!

String concatenation in PHP is done using the decimal point, eg:

PHP Code:

$foobar = $foo . $bar;

Thank you very much!

The following code worked fine:

$text1 = urlencode($_POST[text]);
$text2 = "www.SchuelerCommunity.com";
$text = $text1 . $text2;

But when I tried the following, it doesnt work:

$text1 = urlencode($_POST[text]);
$text2 = "Kostenlos aus www.SchuelerCommunity.com";
$text = $text1 . $text2;

Why this? I think it's because of the space....

Any help?

Thank you

Can you be a little more descriptive then "it doesn't work". Do you get PHP errors? What is the output? e.t.c.

Try:

PHP Code:

$text1 = urlencode($_POST['text']);
$text2 = 'Kostenlos aus www.SchuelerCommunity.com';
$text = $text1 . $text2; 


I see nothing wrong with this code, so it should work.

Agreed here too. I put the code into a plugin and it was perfectly ok.
