I can't see any errors in it and it should work fine if you're using a recent version of PHP. > <?php > > $editFormAction = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; What does print_r($_SERVER) show?

But if you're going to be using double-quotes then there's no reason to break out of it: > print "<form action=\"".$editFormAction."\" > method=\"post\" ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* BOFH Excuse #235: The new frame relay network hasn't bedded down the software loop transmitter yet. */
