Creating a whitespace in between my session variable output in PHP. I will do two posts with my code snippets for both examples

Question

Hi I am trying to show my output with a space between names when I tap a login button.
Right now the message outputs the Firstname and Lastname combined together rather than having a space in between the names. For example
it prints out as TonySmith instead of Tony Smith.It tried incorporating a space with the non-breaking space,  
I also tried concatenating with double quotes like . “ “.Here is my code with quotes.
print '<p>Hello, ' . $_SESSION['firstname']." ".$_SESSION ['lastname'].'! <p>';

Answer 1

Answer 4

in which programming language have you written the code?
EDIT: ok it's in PHP, I think that adding . " " . should do the job... Not sure why it wont work in your code because you havent posted it

I've created a similar thing and it's working, maybe the reason for not working (in your code) is not closing <p> tag? Sorry I am not a backend expert so I cant help you more than this... Good luck
