Well not to sound snippy, but of course I have :-) I was pulling hair out all day.
Now, I'm attempting to use printf to stick in the variables but guess what's happening now? It's not putting the correct variables int he correct places! I even printed out the POST hash to see what the incoming variables are, listed them, and it is not putting the right variables in (and yes I turned the varialbes into %s in the text that I want to insert the variables into). $headercontained=sprintf("$headercode", $_POST['bannerheading'], $_POST['tagline'], $_POST['sidelink1'], $_POST['sidelink2'], $_POST['sidelink3'], $_POST['sidlink4'], $_POST['sidelink5'], $_POST['rightlink1'], $_POST['rightlink2'], $_POST['rightlink3'], $_POST['rightlink4'], $_POST['rightlink5'], $_POST['rightlink6'], $_POST['rightlink7'] ); The headercode string only has two variables in it, but it gets mad if I don't refer to all of the hashes coming in. (Too few arguments). SO what it does is it puts rightlink2's value into the very first variable that is coming in. I just don't get it. But it's sort of hit and miss since I can't be more firm in the text string with %s rather than match the named variable placeholder since I can't name the placeholders in the string. (More hair is being yanked on)... It's really whacked. I'm at a loss...
