Thanks very much. Out of interest, why do you recommend the use of double quotes? It's so much easier to use single quotes in these sort of cases: echo "<INPUT type='text' name='name' value='value'>\n"; rather than: echo "<INPUT type=\"text\" name=\"name\" value=\"value\">\n"; or: echo '<INPUT type="text" name="name" value="value">' . "\n"; ...and according to this: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/intro/sgmltut.html#h-3.2.2 ... double, single, and (sometimes) no quotes are all acceptable. All the best, -- Paul Rees
