And yet there's support for this kind of double quoting stuff > that just makes me think poor form, bad style, and where's my t-shirt. are you saying this feature is too esoteric for you ? :) besides i didnt create the double quoted support and thats not even what im arguing about anyway. the syntax ive mentioned was there in a pre-5.2.4 release (discovered it didnt actually make the cut for the 5.2.4) it save you from having to write ugly little helper methods and thats a benefit i wouldnt mind having. php has a great dilema, it wants to cater to a wide range of users; from newbs to experts. thats a massive undertaking and well if youre gonna do it, you may as well go whole-hog IMHO. -nathan
