Thank you very much!
Works like a charm, for now
If it doesn't work, I'll check out the PHP manual for eval and sprintf
Thanks a billion

The PHP command eval should do what you're looking for. From the PHP Manual:

<?php
$string = 'cup';
$name = 'coffee';
$str = 'This is a $string with my $name in it.<br>';
echo $str;
eval (\"\$str = \\"$str\\";\");
echo $str;
?>

The above example will show

This is a $string with my $name in it.
This is a cup with my coffee in it.

If that doesn't work, then you might want to investigate the sprintf command, which is more "friendly" for C/C++ programmers...

Hope this helps!
