HTH > > Martin Clifford Thank you, Martin, for your informative response. If I understand correctly what you're saying, it would work to do (in psuedo code and reduce to simplest form): store_to_db(text = "My name is $name.") The at runtime I could do: get_from_db(text) $name = 'Raquel' echo "My name is $name" OUTPUT: My name is Raquel Is that correct? What I'm trying to do is to create a web page where users can create their own page text, store it into a database along with certain available variables or functions, then display that page. -- Raquel ============================================================ As a rule, there is no surer way to the dislike of men than to behave well where they have behaved badly. --Lew Wallace
