Personally, I get really tired of seeing all those escaped quotes. The same string looks much cleaner as echo '<input type="hidden" name="MyVar" value="' . $MyVar . '">'; and it's the same length. Or, if the input is part of a modest block of html (Say, more than 2 lines) it'd probably make the code easier to follow if you simpy escaped out of PHP for the time being. That way, the line could simply be <input type="hidden" name="MyVar" value="<?= $MyVar ?>"> Matt
