Query String Error or Code Error?

Question

I am trying to write some code that will simply return a value of someone's name, followed by 3 test scores. In my head, the code should look simply like this:

<html>
<head>
<title> PHP Scores</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php

  echo "<p>",$_GET["name"],"</p>";
  echo "<p>",$_GET["test1"],"</p>";
  echo "<p>",$_GET["test2"],"</p>";
  echo "<p>",$_GET["test3"],"</p>";

?>
</body>
</html>

Now, whenever I type in the URL: http://localhost/phpassignment1.php?name=john&test1=88&test2=74&test3=100

It only returns the value of the name. Is there any reason why I am not getting the 3 test scores to be echoed onto the page?

This should work fine. Error is somewhere else. `print_r($_GET)`, what do you see? — u_mulder, Feb 02 '17 at 19:23
@ibrahimmahrir Copying and pasting the code must have fixed another error. — jeroen, Feb 02 '17 at 19:29

Your PHP syntax is wrong for joins. You need to use . instead of ,.

echo "<p>",$_GET["name"],"</p>";
echo "<p>",$_GET["test1"],"</p>";
echo "<p>",$_GET["test2"],"</p>";
echo "<p>",$_GET["test3"],"</p>";

Should be:

echo "<p>" . $_GET["name"] . "</p>";
echo "<p>" . $_GET["test1"] . "</p>";
echo "<p>" . $_GET["test2"] . "</p>";
echo "<p>" . $_GET["test3"] . "</p>";

Hope this helps!

This does not make a difference at all... – jeroen Feb 02 '17 at 19:28
@jeroen For some reason it printed all of the test scores out using "." I do not have an explanation why though. – D day Feb 02 '17 at 19:29
@jeroen sure it does. I saw a next to the same question yesterday where they used commas instead of dots – Funk Forty Niner Feb 02 '17 at 19:30

@Dday By replacing that block you must have fixed the real problem as well. – jeroen Feb 02 '17 at 19:30

@Fred-ii- Not really, you can separate the values with comma's and that works fine: https://eval.in/729312 – jeroen Feb 02 '17 at 19:32
@jeroen depends on their php version – Funk Forty Niner Feb 02 '17 at 19:32

@Fred-ii- It might, but I've never heard anything about that nor does the manual say anything about it. I'd be interested in references if you have any. Note that you can't use parenthesis when you pass multiple arguments, perhaps that was the issue yesterday? – jeroen Feb 02 '17 at 19:36
@jeroen am sure that would produce something to the effect of `unexpected ,` etc. – Funk Forty Niner Feb 02 '17 at 19:38
