Actually,
"xupdate .../asd/asd[$index]"
and
"xupdate .../asd/asd[" . $index ."]"
are equivalent. $var is not exclusively for echo/print statements. For
example, $array[$key] is valid, as is $db->query("SELECT * FROM table
WHERE id=$id") or even $var = "value of $foo".
Further, the plus (+) symbol in PHP is exclusively for math. Your
string below,
> $query = "<xupad ....... /asdasd/asdasd["+$index+"]";
makes $query == 0, not a string. Really, go try it. echo $query and see for
yourself.
So in closing, before flaming someone who is asking a valid question, make sure
that
you indeed have a clue.
