Here I'd been trying such things with the leading $ on >the *outside* of the braces. --------------------[snip]-------------------- Try to see it this way: $manilist[$i][0] is a PHP expression, thus needs to be put in curly braces _as_a_whole_ within a string. It doesn't hurt to use curly quotes even if they're not necessary - it's just the same as with using brackets in expression to clarify operator precedence: with brackets, you don't have to fear any performance impact and gain the clarity of the evaluation sequence; with curly quotes, you gain the correct result :-) -- >O Ernest E.
