heh... actually those are {curly braces} and these are (parenthesis).

Even better (and valid HTML too!):

echo '<td bgcolor="#ffffff">&nbsp;</td></tr>';


I've always been a big fan of:

> echo "<td bgcolor=\"$bgcolor2\">&nbsp;</td></tr>";

But this has been an interesting topic so I might just start changing my
style.


Chris.

p.s. If you're wondering how heredoc fits into all of this, it's really
slow.

uggh - apparently you've never had to redesign a
site/application that uses this style. This is one
table cell, but when you work this style through a big
app, it's a huge pain (waste of time) to make any
changes.
