[snip] I have a database table with this in it: <p>$name<p> Period Ending Date: $ppe<p> Etc....... And in my script, these variables exist and have values. Is there a way for me to get the output from mysql_query to use the current script variables in place of the same variable name within the database output? [/snip] a.
