Either that or I don't. If I understand correctly, eval(); requires a complete PHP statement. Welcome $username is not a complete PHP statement. Why don't you just make myfile.txt a valid php file and then include it? myfile.txt.php: Welcome <?php echo $username;?> Enjoy your staying at: <?php echo $site_name;?> Mail admin. at <?php echo $admin_mail?> for any questions... index.php: <?php $username="eddie"; $site_name="stripmall"; $admin_mail="admin@stripmall.com"; include("myfile.txt.php"); ?> I'm not sure if this is what you want, but it will send this to the browser: Welcome eddie Enjoy your staying at stripmall Mail admin. at admin@stripmall.com -- Jason Stechschulte jpstech@unoh.edu -- Think of prototypes as a funny markup language--the interpretation is left up to the rendering engine. -- Larry Wall in <199710221710.KAA24242@wall.org>
