My two cents for the evening. Yes, that's why you surround the value in quotes. :-) Escaping has noting to do with it really, unless you're print()ing like: print "Brian is a little off his \"rocker\""; Likewise: print 'Brian is somewhat \'out of it\' most of the time'; The problem you spoke of happens when you do this: <input type="text" name="brian" value=is insane> IIRC, $brian would turn out to contain 'is' without the insanity. -- Brian Clark | Avoiding the general public since 1805!
