Darren,
We're not really set up to do line-by-line debugging. You may need to spend a bit
(more) time learning PHP to
avoid these sorts of frustrations.
When the code is executed it gives a parse error on the line containing
value=\"$value">". It would have been
helpful to have pointed us at that line and told us the error msg (cf "now the next
line gets an error").
The problem is that the last set of (internal) double-quotes are not 'escaped' and
consequently PHP thinks they
terminate the string to be printed. Otherwise everything seems to be fine.
Regards,
=dn
