If you wish to do that, use either double-quoted strings or heredoc/nowdoc syntax: $styleSheets[0]["sheet"]="<link href= \"{$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}/wp-content/themes/theme/style/white.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" />"; or $styleSheets[0]["sheet"]= <<<EOS <link href="{$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}/wp-content/themes/theme/style/white.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> EOS; In both cases note the {} surrounding the variable. This is because PHP needs to be told that you are trying to access an array element, otherwise it will match only as far as $_SERVER and think that the [ character starts regular text. This also works with object properties and method return values: echo "{$some_obect->some_value} and {$some_object->some_method()}"; Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
