Question

I am hoping that there is someone that can help me with this question. I am a ASP programmer and not sure how this works in PHP

echo '</textarea>
      <input type="hidden" name="g_word" id="g_word" value="$_POST[g_word]" />
      <input type="hidden" name="article_no" id="article_no" value="$_POST[article_no]" />
      </form>';

How do I use the $_POST[article_no] in the example above? In asp I would have used it like this "+Request.Form("article_no")+". How would I do it in PHP?

Thanks

echo '</textarea><input type="hidden"
 name="g_word" id="g_word"
 value="'.$_POST[g_word].'" /> <input
 type="hidden" name="article_no"
 id="article_no"
 value="'.$_POST[article_no].'" /></form>';

Close the single quote, and use a dot to concatonate

$value = "cool";
echo 'My String is ' . $value . '!!!!!';

In this case, the dot is the same as the plus concatenation operator.
