PHP doesn't understand fancy quotes, only: Single-quotes ( ' ), which PHP parses as a literal string. Double-quotes ( " ), which PHP parses as a string to be interpreted (such as the translation of variables). Backticks ( ` ), which PHP uses to execute command-line code (if permitted by system configuration). Change your quotes to either single or double quotes and your problems should vanish. -- </Daniel P. Brown> Network Infrastructure Manager http://www.php.net/
