Hiya everyone

can someone tell me whats wrong with this cause its giving me the error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in ........

PHP Code:

$lookingfor = array("$la", "$lb", "$lc", "$ld", "$le", "$lf", "$lg", "$lh", "$li", "$lj", "$lj", "$lk", "$ll", "$lm", "$ln");

$joinlookingfor = implode("-", $lookingfor);

for($i = 0; $i < count($joinlookingfor); $i++){echo "Piece #$i = $joinlookingfor[$i] <br/>";}

echo "joined together = $joinlookingfor"; 


it seems to work ok like this..
$lookingfor = array("hello", "there",.........
but not when i add variables instead of words :-(

thanks!

Try this:

PHP Code:

$lookingfor = array($la, $lb, $lc, $ld, $le, $lf, $lg, $lh, $li, $lj, $lj, $lk, $ll, $lm, $ln); 

$joinlookingfor = implode("-", $lookingfor); 

for($i = 0; $i < count($joinlookingfor); $i++)
{
     echo "Piece #$i = $joinlookingfor[$i] <br/>";
} 

echo "joined together = $joinlookingfor"; 


Did you get a line number with that error? unexpected T_WHATEVER usually occurs when you forget a semicolon but it looks like yours are all in the right places. Also... I cleaned up your for loop a bit. Its much easier to read when it isnt on one line.

Thanks NullPointer

i figured it out last night then forgot to post again oops

i had some "'s that i didn't need and also got some variables wrong in my pre html form oops! lol

this code now works fine..(( messy i know )) but works cool
