Re: Recursive PHP tag resolution

Hi, there are three different ways to define a string in PHP. http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php You may play with single or double quotation or the heredoc syntax as it fits to your needs. Briefly if you use '' to enclose a string, variables will not be parsed within it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Gunther" <inbox@bucksvsbytes.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Saturday, October 06, 2001 3:56 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Recursive PHP tag resolution > Thank you, Rasmus and Christian.
