Any ideas? > > Chris The last EOF; needs to begin in the first column of the line: <script language="php"> print <<<EOF hello, my name is chris EOF; </script> This should work. Also, you need to make sure that there is no whitespace *at all* before the EOF on the first line, or after (!) the semicolon on the last EOT line. It's the only place in PHP where this sort of restriction is enforced. I have been told only that 'it is by design'. No explanation was offered. I'm sure someone can explain why it's good not to allow whitespace after the semicolon. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------+ |Torben Wilson <torben@php.net> Netmill iTech| |http://www.coastnet.com/~torben http://www.netmill.fi| |Ph: 1 250 383-9735 torben@netmill.fi| +----------------------------------------------------------------+
