That's exactly what I'm saying. Apache or IIS (or whatever) discern the contents of a file and determine how to parse it. As far as I know, Apache, even with a PHP file, parses the HTML in the file and hands PHP off to a PHP module to decode. The PHP engine itself does not parse the HTML which is interspersed in and amongst your PHP code. The web server does that. Unless some php internals person says otherwise, that's the story. At best, the PHP engine would simply echo non-PHP text to the browser, which is not parsing it. Paul -- Paul M.
