[snip] $Msg .= "Test is complete" I'm thinking it means concatenate $Msg with "Test is complete" and then store the new string into $Msg
Am I right? [/snip] Yes. You might see $Msg = (no concatenator) somewhere above it in the code...we code long SQL statements and things like e-mail bodies using it. $sql = "SELECT a.`foo`, b.`bar` "; $sql .= "FROM `tblA` a, `tblB` b "; $sql .= "WHERE conditions "; $sql .= "HAVING `stuff` "; $sql .= "ORDER BY a.`foo` "; -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
