Sorry for the top post. I don't see what's so confusing. It's not magic, it's a simple mechanism where anything not in PHP tags gets echo'd. There're is not conversion of the content outside PHP tags, and thinking there is will likely make it more confusing. If you're asking because you want to know how it's actually implemented then you can read the source code or ask on the internals list. It appears to me that you're trying to make it more complicated than it really is or needs to be. -Stuart -- Stuart Dallas 3ft9 Ltd http://3ft9.com/ — Sent from Mailbox for iPhone On Fri, Oct 11, 2013 at 5:15 PM, Nathan Grey <greynng@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Okay, this helps because it is even more mystifying.
