start ranting Frankly, it bugs the heck out of me that PHP searches through a string literal for variables. That is D-U-M dumb! Literals should be literals. Period.
stop ranting In my opinion, you should *never* put a variable in double quotes and expect it to be interpreted as a variable. In anycase, it will screw you up when trying to do that with C,C++,Java, etc. So: "../folder/navfile_$variableA_$variableB.inc" should be "../folder/navfile_".$variableA."_".$variableB.inc Longer, yes, more typing, yes, but you can clearly see what is a string and what is a variable. Incidently, that is probably the only thing I dislike about PHP -- but I *really* dislike it. Really. whew. I got all energized from that one.
