Because of this I usually do the following: echo "<p>here is some text with a $variable in it.<br/>\n" ."And this is another like of text with a $variable1 in it.<br/>\n" ."And so on...<br/>\n" ."And so forth.</p>\n"; I also prefer <?= $variable ?> to <?php echo $variable; ?> except that for the sake of cross-system compatibility* I now choose to do <?php echo $variable; ?>. Chris. * What I mean by that is if I give my code to someone else I want it to work with as few changes as possible. Some php installs don't have <? ?> turned on (short tags?). -- Don't like reformatting your Outlook replies? Now there's relief! http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/outlook-quotefix/
