Well, hopefully it will be a challange

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

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.

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)
