The OP is using the heredoc format. (why it's called that is lost in the antiquities of the C language... :-) ) The '<<<' is not part of the string and neither is the "_MSG_". The solution here is to use curly brackets around the array variable. [/quote] [b]heredoc format[/b]? Man, I never would've guess that! Or the curly braces! But that's just what I needed. When you don't know the name for something, it makes it mighty hard to search for help with it. Thanks a heap! P.S. How is "heredoc" pronounced? Is it like "heretic" or "hear-dock"?!

I've got a little bit of code where I fill a variable with <<< . (I'm such a newbie, I don't even know what that's called!) Like this: [code]$body=<<<_MSG_ This is the body of a message. _MSG_;[/code] What I'd like to do is insert some MySQL variable information into the middle of that. I tried the following, but got a parsing error. Is there a way around this? [code]$body=<<<_MSG_ This is the body of a message sent to $row_rsVerify['email'] _MSG_;[/code] Thanks!
