http://www.php.net/manual/ http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php Basically: * quoting with ' is when you just literally want that string output. You can't call functions or print variables values within it. e.g. print 'hello_world() $name'; prints just that. * if you want to quote with ' - you'll have to mix it up. e.g. print hello_world() . ' ' . $name; * the {}'s we saw earlier is a way of explicitly telling php to analyze the whole thing, not just the first bit. e.g. print "$_POST['PO_YEAR']"; equates to print $_POST . "['PO_YEAR']"; and is properly written print "{$_POST['PO_YEAR']}"; My apologies to both the list for a non-db related post, and to anyone whos client munges this up something fierce. Outlook will likely strip the extra line feeds - click the little yellow box at the top for legibility.
