Why are the two first variables being left out in $x = $greet.' '.$row->sender .' '.$combined_message;

I have the following code,

Code:

foreach ($query->result() as $row){

$greet = 'Bon Jour';
$x = $greet.' '.$row->sender  .' '.$combined_message;
}

but when i

Code:

echo x

,the values $greet.' '.$row->sender are being left out and only

Code:

$combined_message

although i have concatenated them.

So I am guessing that you would have tried...

Code:

foreach ($query->result() as $row){
  $greet = 'Bon Jour';
  $x = $greet.' '.$row->sender  .' '.$combined_message;
  echo $x; // Let's see what $x is!
}

Which resulted in $x only displaying what was in $combined_message.

So what happens if you try

Code:

foreach ($query->result() as $row){
  $greet = 'Bon Jour';
  $x = $greet.' '.$combined_message;
  echo $x; // Now Let's see what $x is!
}

If that works you would think Hmmm what is $row->sender doing, let's find out!

Code:

foreach ($query->result() as $row){
  $greet = 'Bon Jour';
  $x = $greet.' '.$combined_message;
  echo $x; // Now Let's see what $x is!
  var_dump($row->sender);
}

It's a process of examining everything... If something's not working... Pick it apart and actually see what you are getting...

So what do you get when you var_dump($row->sender);?
