Guys, Jay asked a serious question (I think). Anyways, let's take this one step further to something that I've really been wondering about. (.. long bunch of HTML ..) Jay asked <?=$Question?>, then Tom said <? echo $Answer; ?>. <?php print 'Meanwhile a lot of others read it including '.$Strangers[0].', '.$Strangers[2].', '.$Strangers[3].' and '.$Strangers[4].'."\n"; echo "After a short while, among others, $Kirk[firstname] {$Kirk[lastname]} also said his things."; ?> Point is, which of the inline printing style is preferred by you guyes. I tend to use <?=$Var?> a lot, since it reads easier but get into struggles with myself when I do that multiple times in a row. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
