A little challange for you all
 

Well, hopefully it will be a challange :-D

Here's what you have to do:

Now, in its current state, that code won't work. Your job is to get it working :-)

Rules: The variable name must be 999 and it must contain the string 'Hello' and you must echo the variable to display the string.

---> First one to post a working answer wins a cookie! :-)

Good luck all!

Alan

I know, I know! But to keep it a challenge I won't reveal :-) ! I saw this in a book I have a while ago - quite crafty, though I certainly wouldn't recommend naming your variables like this.

BINGO!!!!

<?php

$test = array('9','9','9');

$test[0] = "he";
$test[1] = "ll";
$test[2] = "o";
$output = "$test[0]$test[1]$test[2]";



echo $output;

?>

You get half a cookie for keeping quiet :-D

Alan

I blogged about this sort of thing not very long ago, would it be rude to claim the cookie before many others take a stab at it? Thinking about it, lets be sporting. If you can think up any weird and wacky solutions (sarmenhb had a good stab at it!), they might not be awarded a cookie but it'll be fun anyway. :-P

Good attempt sarmenhb but there isn't a variable named 999 which contains the string 'Hello' - you have a variable called $test containing an array of 'Hello' parts :-)

Good thinking though!

Alan

BINGO!!!

BINGO!!!!

<?php

$test = array('9','9','9');

$test[0] = "he";
$test[1] = "ll";
$test[2] = "o";
$output = "$test[0]$test[1]$test[2]";



echo $output;

?>

Another good attempt, but this time you are echo'ing a variable named 'output', not '999' :-)

Keep trying though! That cookies waiting!

Alan

lol you mentioned $output only not $test so then i can just remove $output and echo out the array.

does that work?

Afraid not :-) You need to have a variable named '999', that contain the string 'Hello' (string, not array), and then echo that variable to display the string 'Hello' :-)

Alan

ROFL

ok, turned out not to be such a challange after all :D Sarmenhb wins the Cookie!

An alternative way (and the way I was thinking of when I wrote the question is to use variable variables :)

Eg:

Enjoy your cookie!

Alan

Yay, how's that cookie taste sarmenhb? :-)

Time for some more little challenges methinks!

I suck D: (chars)

I really like this idea of challenges lol i think should have a area for these kind of challenges that the mods and admins can set maybe come up with some kind of point system :-P

Heres one for ya

What can run but never walks, has a mouth but never talks, has a head but never weeps, has a bed but never sleeps?

:-D

User created challeneges, >:D I know what I'd make hehe >:D

A river :-P

I have holes on the top and bottom. I have holes on my left and on my right. And I have holes in the middle, yet I still hold water. What am I?

A sponge


Temples will fall, and mountains will crumble no man can survive it's call, what am I?

God ( not religious >.> )

nay, though I can see where that answer would fill the perquisite answers.
