Adding on top of an existing variable...

[youradds]

Hi. I'm trying to add another value onto a variable. I currently have;

// check if the thing we have
if ($_sliced_cats == "wedding&quot {

$wedding .= &quot;<tr><td vAlign=\&quot;top\&quot; bgColor=\&quot;#FFFFFF\&quot;><font face=\&quot;arial,helvetica\&quot; size=\&quot;2\&quot;>$sliced_titles[$count]</font><font class=\&quot;text\&quot; face=\&quot;arial,helvetica\&quot; size=\&quot;2\&quot;>  <br> </font></td><td vAlign=\&quot;top\&quot; bgColor=\&quot;#FFFFFF\&quot;><font class=\&quot;text\&quot; face=\&quot;arial,helvetica\&quot; size=\&quot;2\&quot;>$dropdown</font></td> <td vAlign=\&quot;top\&quot; bgColor=\&quot;#FFFFFF\&quot;> <font class=\&quot;text\&quot; face=\&quot;arial,helvetica\&quot; size=\&quot;2\&quot;>£ $sliced_ourest[$count]</font></td> <td vAlign=\&quot;top\&quot; bgColor=\&quot;#FFFFFF\&quot;> <font class=\&quot;text\&quot; face=\&quot;arial,helvetica\&quot; size=\&quot;2\&quot;>£ <input size=\&quot;5\&quot; value=\&quot;$sliced_theirest[$count]\&quot; name=\&quot;your_estimate[$count]\&quot;> </font></td> <td vAlign=\&quot;top\&quot; width=\&quot;64\&quot; bgColor=\&quot;#FFFFFF\&quot;> <font class=\&quot;text\&quot; face=\&quot;arial,helvetica\&quot; size=\&quot;2\&quot;>£ <input size=\&quot;5\&quot; value=\&quot;$sliced_actualcost[$count]\&quot; name=\&quot;your_actual[$count]\&quot;> </font></td>&quot;;
$wedding_actual =+ your_actual[$count];
$wedding_their =+ your_estimate[$count];
$wedding_estinate =+ sliced_ourest[$count];

}

This gives a parse error. I'm assuming it has something to do with the =+ , as it seems to disappear when I get rid of them. Is there a function that would do the following;

$wedding == 50;
$wedding_actual = $wedding_actual + $wedding;
echo &quot;\$wedding_actual => $wedding_actual&quot;;

Cheers

The operator you are looking for is [tt]+=[/tt].

//Daniel

 

[youradds]

Tried that already (as in Perls function)...gives;


Parse error: parse error in /home/askweddi/public_html/a/budget_planner.inc on line 101

Any other ideas? :-/

Do you have the dollar signs before those arrays in the real code?

No. It is just a figure like 4.50 , 4, 6.70 etc.
