You would have to modify >backend.php3 - and lose the separation of form and content. Okay about about this then: <?php function loop($preHTML, $var, $postHTML) { echo $preHTML; if(is_array($var)) { for($l = 0; $l <= count($var); $l++) { echo $var[$l]; } } else { echo $var; } echo $postHTML; } Then in your file <? loop("<TD BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF ALIGN=LEFT><B>", $var, "</B></TD>"); ?> No syntax changes needed.
