fpdf multicell not showing values

I am creating a pdf which is working but the values are not being entered into the multicell of the pdf.

Lets take the date for example, the user enters a date and on the PDF it should look like:

Date: 26/01/2017

but this is what it looks like now:

Date:

Below is my code with the date example:

<?php
//set the question values
$questions     = array(
'name' => "Name: ",
'date' => "Date: ",
'first' => "First Day of Leave: ",
'last' => "Last Day of Leave: ",
'days' => "Number of Days Taken: ",
'email' => "Managers Email: ",
'creditdays' => "Leave Days in Credit",
'personnel' => "THIS SECTION TO BE COMPLETED BY PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT",
'credit' => "Leave Days in Credit:",
'mansign' => "Signed:",
'date2' => "Date:",
'authorise' => "Authorised By:",
'date3' => "Date:",
'auth' => "Authorisation Of Leave"
);
//set the question answers
$date          = $_POST['date'];
$first         = $_POST['first'];
$last          = $_POST['last'];
$days          = $_POST['days'];
$email         = $_POST['email'];
$name          = $_POST['name'];
//set the question names
$questionName  = $questions['name'];
$questionDate  = $questions['date'];
$questionFirst = $questions['first'];
$questionLast  = $questions['last'];
$questionDays  = $questions['days'];
$questionEmail = $questions['email'];
$personnel = $questions['personnel'];
$credit = $questions['credit'];
$mansign = $questions['mansign'];
$date2 = $questions['date2'];
$authorise = $questions['authorise'];
$date3 = $questions['date3'];
$auth = $questions['auth'];
//Create the PDF

require('fpdf.php');
$pdf = new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();

$pdf->SetFont('Arial', 'B', 16);
//insert fields
$pdf->SetDrawColor(100, 100, 100);
$pdf->SetFillColor(100,100,100);  
$pdf->Multicell(200, 3, "Leave Application Form", "", 'C');
$pdf->Ln();
$pdf->Ln();
$pdf->MultiCell(190, 10, $questionDate, $date, 'C');

According to the fpdf manual:

MultiCell(float w, float h, string txt [, mixed border [, string align [, boolean fill]]])

While in your code:

$pdf->MultiCell(190, 10, $questionDate, $date, 'C');

So $date isn't part of the txt parameter to appear in the cell. Instead, you need to append the $date variable to the $questionDate one.

$pdf->MultiCell(190, 10, $questionDate . $date, 'C');
