Wrong, double quotes are meant for strings that contain variables.

you have to end a echo to put a string in it
like this:
echo “hello youtube “. $str;
or
echo “hello youtube “. $str. “and continue”;

pretty much every site has it. If you’re on a site with boxes where you fill in any kind of information, php is used. (all sites where you can register or search and so on)

Haha! You’re hilarious.

1: I personally think XAMPP is for people that don’t want to learn how to set up Apache, PHP and MySQL. It’s really not that difficult.
2: Short tags are unsupported as of PHP5. That’s a good thing.
3: Putting variables inside strings does work but isn’t very neat according to many coders.

you’re right, my IP is actually 192. 168. 1. 100 , please don’t attack it, I just set my router and firewall on bypass
December 27th, 2009 at 8:12 pm
@jimmyrcom lol. . . . . .
THE WORLD WILL EXPLODE IF YOU ATTACK IT!! D; xD idiot. . . 127. 0. 0. 1
Seriously. . . You’ll attack yourself. . .
I quote ”127. 0. 0. 1 is the standard IP address used for a loopback network connection.
This means that if you try to connect to 127. 0. 0. 1, you are immediately looped back to your own machine. ”
December 27th, 2009 at 8:39 pm
oh god no, please don’t attack 127. 0. 0. 1 at full force
