Re: Help with mail...

strings in double quotes are evaluated looking for $vars and {$vars} to substitute. strings with in single quotes are not evaluated for vars. $var = "my favourite color is {$col}"; // works $var = "my favourite color is $col"; // works $var = 'my favourite color is $col'; // doesn't work $var = 'my favourite color is ' . $col; // works Same applies to strings within functions: include('{$dir}/{$file}.inc') // doesn't work include('$dir/$file.inc') // doesn't work include($dir.'/'.$file.'.inc') // works include("{$dir}/{$file}.inc") // works include("$dir/$file.inc") // probably works Nothing to do with arrays :) HTH Justin on 23/09/02 1:52 PM, Chuck PUP Payne (payne@magidesign.com) wrote: > Ok, that work.
