$ variables in an echo

[mdomel]

Searched and didn't find this.

Whenever I use an isset variable
page.php?hm=xx
to place the value in a echo
echo "<img src=\"$hm.gif\">";
if works great.
But if I use the same with a # following
echo "<img src=\"$hm0.gif\">";
it prints
<img src=".gif">

Is there a way to escape that # so that it doesn't think it's part of the $hm ?

Thanks.

echo "{$hm}0.gif";

How simple is that?!

Obviously I'm new to php.

THANKS.
