Use echo, print, single quotes, double quotes, escape those backslashes, use print <<<_EOT_, but now now you have an ugly indent. I think perl has a bit better sytax for handling the embedding of html code: qq|put all my ugly code here, variables, double quotes, you name it|; Why can't we do something similar in php after all these years? Maybe you can? I just don't know about it. :-) ed On Jan 15, 2008 5:31 PM, Ken Robinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Quoting PaulCheung <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > This might seem quite trivial or rather silly; But it is causing me absolute > > havoc.
