Hi again! Thanks for the reply! I still have another question:

so I tired to use (echo) like this: echo "<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="639"> <tr>

    <td><img src="img_heading/spacer.gif" width="25" height="1"

border="0"></td> </tr> <tr>

    <td colspan="11"><img name="index_r1_c1"

src="img_heading/index_r1_c1.gif" width="639" height="5" border="0"></td>

    <td><img src="img_heading/spacer.gif" width="1" height="5"

border="0"></td> </tr> <tr>

    <td rowspan="5"><img name="index_r2_c1"

src="img_heading/index_r2_c1.gif" width="25" height="43" border="0"></td> </table>"; but it DOES NOT WORK. How do I get way with all of the quotation marks????

1) you can escape each double quote with a backslash, the first line of your thing woulkd then look like echo "<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"639\"> and so on 2) if you don't want this by any reason, you can use single quotes to mark the text you want to print out like in echo '<table width="100%">'; the difference is that with single quotes you will _not_ be able to use variable replacement in between the quotes, something like <? $myvar=100; echo "<table width=\"$myvar\">"; ?> will output <table width="100%"> while this: <? $myvar=100; echo '<table width="$myvar">'; ?> will output exactly <table width="$myvar"> hth, henning
