Concatenating strings having dot(period) in php

Question

Googled but couldn't find an answer.

I have

echo "<input type = 'text' value = ".$value." name = ".$input_id."/>";

$value or $input_id contains a dot which is conflicting with the dot used for concatenation. How do I escape it?

Thanks!

This has nothing to do with the concatenation operator! You just need to concatenate your strings right: `echo "";` <- see the single quotes — Rizier123, Mar 31 '15 at 05:33

If the variables contains eg. space, they has to be in quotes. Concat operators cause no problem.

echo "<input type='text' value='" . $value . "' name='" . $input_id . "'/>";
