''; or echo 'frame name=main scrolling=no src=', $url, ''; This doesn't mean you shouldn't read the manual, though *twinkle* -- O Ernest E.

Michael -- ...and then Michiel van Heusden said... % % hi there, Hi! % % i'm having a small problem, wondering if anybody can help ... % echo 'frame name=main scrolling=no src='$url''; You've already seen the suggestions to . together your parts, so I needn't suggest that. I wonder why on earth you're bothering, though! If you use ' then you will, indeed, need to . the $variables into the string, but if you use then you can just include them with the rest of your output. Your incorrect echo 'frame name=main scrolling=no src='$url''; instead of having to become echo 'frame name=main scrolling=no src=' . $url . ''; is simply echo frame name='main' scrolling='no' src='$url'; and away you go... I, too, have wondered why pretty much everyone on this list writes their html as tag field=data rather than using perfectly valid single quotes and making their lives easier... In perl you can use *any* char as your quoting character and so you even have it both ways!
