Note Submitter: php-comment-2003-july-24 at ryandesign dot de ---- Late reply to fmmarzoa at gmx dot net: You're better off using sprintf format and defining your strings like this: define('strArticleDescr', 'Published by %1$s on %2$s in %2$s'); It's more standard than what you're doing. Then instead of outputting it using an eval, do this: echo sprintf(strArticleDescr, $article_author, $article_date, $article_lang_name'); And even better for i18n and l10n, don't use defines; use gettext. See the PHP manual section on gettext and the GNU gettext website. Gettext requires some modification of the way you think about strings but I find it worthwhile to make that adjustment.
