I guess this is too late for 5.0, and I feel like there is bound to be opposition, but this has been bugging me for a while, so I figured I would ask. I use the alternative syntax for control structures almost exclusively within my HTML code but I have to revert to braces for do...while. Why can't we do this? <? do: ?> <tr> <td><?= $s_array['name'] ?></td> <td><?= $s_array['classyear'] ?></td> <td><?= $s_array['status'] ?></td> </tr> <? while ($s_array = mysql_fetch_array($search_results): ?> <? enddowhile ?> It is a little cumbersome, but at least I can keep my syntax consistent. Are there parser related problems? Marc
