Perfect. 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. Right. What I hadn't seen before is that $manilist[$i] is NOT evaluated like {$manilist}[$i] but as {$manilist[$i]} and so that's why I was putting the $ outside the {}. Some things about php aren't quite as perl-ish as others :-) Thanks & HAND :-D -- David T-G * There is too much animal courage in (play) davidtg@justpickone.org * society and not sufficient moral courage.
