Just so there's no confusion, with double quoted strings, you can do it one of two ways. echo "The value is {$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}"; or echo "The value is $_SERVER[PHP_SELF]"; Neither is any more right than the other. You can always end the string and concatinate the variable, too... echo "The value is " . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; In that case, you should always use quotes around the key, single or double, doesn't matter much. ---John Holmes... > > --------------------[snip]-------------------- > > > >>Could someone tell me why this code prompts a parse error.
