Hello all!

The following example
$welt="World";
echo "<br>Hello $welt";
gives me "Hello World" as result. No problem so far. But why doesn't a
string from a MySQL table behave the same? Fieldname contains the string
"$jahr". And the output is "$jahr", and not 2006.

Maybe someone has a hint? Putting $jahr in brackets or using other
string functions on it had no effect so far. Thanks for any help!

$db = mysql_connect($db_host,$db_user,$db_pass);
mysql_select_db ($db_name) or die ("Cannot connect to database");
$erg=mysql_query("select fieldname from tablename where id=20") or
die("Error");

$jahr=2006;

if ($all=mysql_fetch_array($erg)) {
extract($all);
echo $fieldname;
}
