It's late and I've been at this a long time today so I throw myself on the mercy of the list. I have an echo statement that I use in conjunction with a MySQL query. echo "<tr>\n<td class=\"tabletext\">" . $row['time'] . "</td>\n<td class=\"tabletext\">" . $row['field'] . "</td>\n<td class=\"tabletext\">" . $row['division'] . "</td>\n"; This works perfectly fine. However, I will be using the same code numerous times on the page and wanted to stuff it all into a variable. At this point I can't remember the proper syntax and quoting to get this right. Any takers? Thanks. Al Padley --PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You could always make it a function...ie: function drawTableRow($sqlRow) {

    return "<tr>\n<td class=\"tabletext\">". $sqlRow['time'] ."</td>\n<td class=\"tabletext\">".$row['field']."</td>"; // Simplified for time purposes.

} // Execute the query foreach ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {

    echo drawTableRow($row);

} That's perfect. I should of thought of using a function.

Thanks. Al
