Re: Re: Can someone tell me why this is not working?

on this line

echo "Mortgage Amount:$ $newmort<br />";

the echo is trying to evaluate the string... in your case you should escape the $ sign... like this \$

echo "Mortgage Amount:\$ $newmort<br />";

Everything is exaclty the same, but this one will not work. I have retyped them, copied from those working, changed the name, changed the input name...If I change the var to $zip, it works. Any other suggestions? Thanks again. ""Gary"" <gwpaul@ptd.net> wrote in message news:89.71.08167.D8D5A3A4@pb1.pair.com...

The center echo does not show. It will show if I replace $newmort with anything else. I have copied the first "if" statement,pasted it in the second position, and it works fine. Once I change the var to $newmort,

it

will not show. The third echo shows fine, it is only if I use newmort. I have renamed the var from mort1, because I was getting the same thing. <tr> <td>Purchase Price: </td> <td> <input name="purchprice" type="text"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Mortgage Amount: </td> <td> <input name="newmort" type="text"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>How long seller has owned property: </td> <td> <input name="howlong" type="text" size="4"></td> </tr> $newmort=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['newmort']); $purchprice=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['purchprice']); $howlong=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['howlong']); if ($purchprice) { echo "Purchase Price:$ $purchprice<br />"; } if ($newmort) { echo "Mortgage Amount:$ $newmort<br />"; } if ($howlong) { echo "How Long has seller owned property: $howlong<br /><br />"; } Thanks Gary
