thought about that, I would need to do one ereg for each variable then
correct? as of right now, there are 0 variables in the first field, and 17
in the second... so it would be 17 ereg replaces... then if i add or change
anything, possibly more...
This will work, but was hoping for an easier way...

Jake, could you use ereg_replace() to do that?
<?
//....
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$html = ereg_replace("$"."name",$name,$row['column_name'];
}
I split the first field of the ereg_replace() input so that it wouldn't
be read by the function as a variable.

Sorry.. Typos... But that's not the point... I looked the function... Dunno
how I missed it.... Thanks... Do you know if eval() has any size limitations
to it? The database fields are about a page each....
Thanks,

I would suggest writing a function in which the parameters are passed in
as references. In the function itself have set a variables using the
heredoc syntax, which incorporates the variables, and then return the
heredoc variable. Coming from Perl, my impulse is to use a reference for
the return value, but the manual says not to, that PHP is smart enough
to know how to optimize itself. Perhaps someone can tell us whether the
same is true for the parameters. The manual is mum on that one.
function set_func(&$var1, &$var2 . . . &var17) {
$return_var = RETURNVAR
"this is $var1 and $var2. . . .";
RETURNVAR ;
return $return_var;
}
