How, for example, is PHP supposed to know you actually want $i++ to be an increment instead of just ASCII "artwork" or output like you might do: echo "$i+++++++++++++++++++++++$i<BR>\n"; You can do this, though: echo $i++, "<BR>"; -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?
