You are talking about "here docs": It's something goofy like: <<<HERE Blah blah blah HERE Either <<< or >>> But you don't really need that... Just use \ in front of the kind of quotes you are using on the outside part: $foo = 'You need to use \\ in front of any \'apostrophes\' but not "quotes" inside here'; $bar = "You need to use \\ in front of any \"quotes\" but not 'apostrophes' inside here"; -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
