PHP isn't doing anything special to the ? character. What's happening is that you probably have a newline character at the start of your $id variable, that's why it's printing on two lines. The ? is not what's causing the new line. For the sake of readability (imo) try writing it like this: <?php $string = "test.php?id=$id"; ?> That way you don't have to mess with concatenation. hth, Chris. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
