Thanks. [/B]

First, is there any certain reason why you wouldn't just use plain HTML right there.. and second.. You can't have double quotes inside double quotes. 🙂

[Inkybro]

Right, but about doing it JUST in html I just tried and it doesn't work. Look at my new code here:

 <p><a href="http://www.wizardduels.com/index.php?user=".$user."&pass=".$pass." onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Home','','home2.gif',1)"><img name="Home" border="0" src="home1.gif" width="75" height="25"></a>
           <a href="http://www.wizardduels.com/news.php?user=".$user."&pass=".$pass." onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('News','','news2.gif',1)"><img name="News" border="0" src="news1.gif" width="75" height="25"></a>
           <a href="http://www.wizardduels.com/forums" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Forums','','forums2.gif',1)"><img name="Forums" border="0" src="forums1.gif" width="75" height="25"></a>
           <a href="http://www.wizardduels.com/stores.php?user=".$user."&pass=".$pass." onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Stores','','stores2.gif',1)"><img name="Stores" border="0" src="stores1.gif" width="75" height="25"></a>
           <a href="http://www.wizardduels.com/games.php?user=".$user."&pass=".$pass." onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Games','','games2.gif',1)"><img name="Games" border="0" src="games1.gif" width="75" height="25"></a>
           <a href="http://www.wizardduels.com/schools.php?user=".$user."&pass=".$pass." onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Schools','','schools2.gif',1)"><img name="Schools" border="0" src="schools1.gif" width="75" height="25"></a>
           <a href="http://www.wizardduels.com/dueling.php?user=".$user."&pass=".$pass." onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Dueling','','dueling2.gif',1)"><img name="Dueling" border="0" src="dueling1.gif" width="75" height="25"></a>
           <a href="http://www.wizardduels.com/contact.php?user=".$user."&pass=".$pass." onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Contact','','/contact2.gif',1)"><img name="Contact" border="0" src="contact1.gif" width="75" height="25"></a></p>

           <br>
           <br>
           <a href="http://www.e-bannerx.com/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=wizardduels">
           <img src="http://www.e-bannerx.com/images/aff/banners/ebannerx-elvis2.gif" border=0></a>

This should have worked but when you click a link it just says user= in the url, and yes I have a login script that works..

That's because you can't call PHP variables using html. You have to weave in and out of PHP.

<p><a href="http://www.wizardduels.com/index.php?user="<? echo $user; ?>"&pass="<? echo $pass; ?>" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Home','','home2.gif',1)"><img name="Home" border="0" src="home1.gif" width="75" height="25"></a>
           <a href="http://www.wizardduels.com/news.php?user="<? echo $user; ?>"&pass="<? echo $pass; ?>" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('News','','news2.gif',1)"><img name="News" border="0" src="news1.gif" width="75" height="25"></a>
           <a href="http://www.wizardduels.com/forums" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Forums','','forums2.gif',1)"><img name="Forums" border="0" src="forums1.gif" width="75" height="25"></a>

           <a href="http://www.wizardduels.com/schools.php?user="<? echo $user; ?>"&pass="<? echo $pass; ?>" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Schools','','schools2.gif',1)"><img name="Schools" border="0" src="schools1.gif" width="75" height="25"></a>
           <a href="http://www.wizardduels.com/dueling.php?user="<? echo $user; ?>"&pass="<? echo $pass; ?>." onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Dueling','','dueling2.gif',1)"><img name="Dueling" border="0" src="dueling1.gif" width="75" height="25"></a>
           <a href="http://www.wizardduels.com/contact.php?user="<? echo $user; ?>"&pass="<? echo $pass; ?>" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Contact','','/contact2.gif',1)"><img name="Contact" border="0" src="contact1.gif" width="75" height="25"></a></p>

That should work for you.

2 other things you could try are:

echo <<<END

--all that stuff--

END;
(this blocks our "'s)

or make it into a function since you reuse so much of the code over and over?

[matto]

you have got double quotes (") within your strings - and the strings themselves are wrapped with double quotes. -> php gets confused!

wrong:

print("I say: "yes" - here we are!");

right:

print("I say: \"yes\" - here we are!");

in the latter example, the quotes within the string are masked - so they don't terminate the string.

[Twist]

You can also change this like this to save a few CPU cycles:

your code:
echo_("<a href="http://www.wizardduels.com/news.php?user=".$user."&pass=".$pass."" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('News','','news2.gif',1)"><img name="News" border="0" src="news1.gif" width="75" height="25"></a>");

my code:
echo_("<a href=/"http://www.wizardduels.com/news.php?user=$user&pass=$pass/" onMouseOut=\"MM_swapImgRestore()\" onMouseOver=\"MM_swapImage('News','','news2.gif',1)\"><img name=\"News\" border=\"0\" src=\"news1.gif\" width=\"75\" height=\"25\"></a>");

There is no need to close the quotes and then append the varible, you can just include the varible.

I'm as close to a total newbie as one gets but couldn't your right example be written as:

print('I say: "yes" - here we are!');

or

echo ('I say: "yes" - here we are!');

Or does it requires the " at the front because we are evaluating the whole sentence?
