periods are used to do string concatenation. So if you want to break a
statement up you can do:
$string = "First part." . " And this is the second part";
I often do it when inserting variables:
$sql = "select * from The_Other_Guy";
if(case 1) {
$sql .= " where The_Other_Guy.Is = ".$something;
} else {
$sql .= ", Women W where The_Other_Guy.WifeId = W.Id and W.Age <
". $age;
}
$sql .= "order by The_Other_Guy.Pay_Grade";
or something like that.
