Re: little problem with ' " and stuff

Michael -- ..and then Michiel van Heusden said... % % hi there, Hi! % % i'm having a small problem, wondering if anybody can help .. % echo '<frame name="main" scrolling="no" src="'$url'">'; You've already seen the suggestions to . together your parts, so I needn't suggest that. I wonder why on earth you're bothering, though! If you use ' then you will, indeed, need to . the $variables into the string, but if you use " then you can just include them with the rest of your output. Your incorrect echo '<frame name="main" scrolling="no" src="'$url'">'; instead of having to become echo '<frame name="main" scrolling="no" src="' . $url . '">'; is simply echo "<frame name='main' scrolling='no' src='$url'>"; and away you go... I, too, have wondered why pretty much everyone on this list writes their html as <tag field="data"> rather than using perfectly valid single quotes and making their lives easier... In perl you can use *any* char as your quoting character and so you even have it both ways!
