Note Submitter: redshift at pandora dot be ---- There are several ways of declaring variabeles. (Sort of like the Dim instruction in vb or asp) settype($myvar, "string"); (http://be2.php.net/settype) or $myvar = (string) "Hello"; Or let php do the hard work for you, $myvar = "Hello"; It should normally produce the same result... NOTE: $myvar = 1; is not the same as $myvar = "1"; Whereas the first would count as an integer, the second as a string. Altough php see trough these things, a database query would not. For example: odbc_query("INSERT INTO table (number) VALUES(' ".$myvar." ')"); WILL NOT work, odbc_query("INSERT INTO table (number) VALUES (".$myvar.")"); WOULD work.
