Hello, When I try to do this: $foo = "Entry for for $HTTP_POST_VARS[\"name\"]"; I receive this error: Parse error: parse error, expecting T_STRING' or T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' on line X Why does it do this, and how do I get around this, besides assigning the value of $HTTP_POST_VARS[\"name\"] to variable $bar? Thank you for your time and help. --Stephen
