Syntax is not random. echo wants to be fed a comma-separated list of arguments. This is very clearly described in the manual (http://php.net/echo) and should not be difficult to figure out. So you can sent it a variable: echo $fname; Or you can send it a string: echo "Hello"; Or you can send it a string that contains some variables: echo "$fname $lname"; Or you can send it a bunch of variables and strings: echo $fname, ' ', $lname; The manual is your friend. miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
