That first argument is just a string, so you can generate it any way you want. When you use single quotes, the string is considered to be literal text. Use double quotes if you want $var to be evaluated. Hope that helps. Chris ===== Become a better Web developer with the HTTP Developer's Handbook http://httphandbook.org/
