String Concatenation Bug

[ecow]

Can anyone think of a reason why this is happening?

$b[1] = xxx //<enormously long string with at least 100000 characters>
$c[1] = yyy //<shorter but still a long string>

$a[1] = $b[1].$c[1];

echo "$a[1]";

Output:

"yyyxxx"


IT'S BACKWARDS. I can put them in any order, even copy them to non
array string variables and it still will put $b[1] last no matter what.

I've searched for hours on this. Any help would be appreciated.

My guess is you have some invalid HTML in the strings. Putting text between
the </tr><tr> tags or a missing </table> can do some pretty weird stuff
depending on the browser. Try validating the HTML on the page and see what
you get or at least do a view source in the browser.
