Hey djscour,

Wow, that lines a bit of a mouthful isn't it, you could do with breaking it down if you're struggling

PHP Code:


			
// &ID1 = x
$rString.= "&ID".$i."=".$row['ID'];    

// &visitor1 = x
$rString.= "&visitor".$i."=".$row['visitor'];

// &time1 = x
$rString.= "&time".$i."=".$row['time'];

// &comment1 = x
$rString.= "&comment".$i."=".$row['comment'];

The ampersand (&) is a variable separator, generally used in querystring's (url) or for loading into another language such as flash.
How is $rString being used, in terms of where else is it called in the script?

Regarding the equal sign (=), $rString is being used to concatenate different variables into one string, the full output would look something like:

Code:

&ID1=x&visitor1=x&time1=x&comment1=x

Hope this helps a little :)
