Yes, if prevents the variable from beeing preamturely evaluated. I use this tecnique when I hade to post arrays trough froms. And remember - you debug the eval-expressions by running the parameters through echo - if you get a bug in eval("\$fuse$i=$something;"); , you van debug it by doing echo("\$fuse$i=$something;"); -- Morten Dreier http://www.pobox.com/~mdreier/
