Eric, I tried your code on my machine and it seems to print the name of the variable just fine. The only change I had to make to your code was add the long PHP tags (i.e. <?php instead of <?) since I have short tags disabled. Here's the header as I ran it.
<!--###################################################################--> <html> <head> <title>[Site Name]</title> </head> <body> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="left"> <tr> <td> <?php echo $subnav ?> <?php if($subnav == "home"){ ?><b><?php }?> <a href="index.php">home</a> <?php if($subnav == "home"){ ?></b><?php }?> </td> </tr> </table> <!--####################################################################--> It printed home twice once bolded and as a link. I don't think the problem is your code maybe some weird php.ini setting is set, as to which one however I couldn't say.
