No problem- you can also use echo "<p id='xlday'>",$_POST['day'],"</p>"; its actually faster (by microseconds) in PHP to concatonate with commas as opposed to append.

This needs `htmlspecialchars()` to protect agains XSS attacks

@Ergo Summary The `,` does not do any concatenation. It just separates the parameters given to the `echo` construct.

Apologies, I wasn't aware you could "accept" answers!

And to elaborate - you had to escape your double quoted sentence with double quotes - you were using single quotes...

A:
echo "<p id='xlday'>".$_POST['day']."</p>";
or
echo "<p id='xlday'>{$_POST['day']}</p>";
or
echo "<p id='xlday'>${_POST['day']}</p>";
or
echo "<p id='xlday'>$_POST[day]</p>";
I'll also add
echo "<p id='xlday'>", $_POST['day'], "</p>";
with the mention that it does not actually concatenate the strings, but rather outputs them one at a time.

or `echo sprintf("<p id='xlday'>%s</p>", $_POST['day'])`. So many choices...
