thanx sniper,
i didn't know about this info.

php manual says:
"everything outside of a pair of opening and closing tags is ignored by the PHP parser"

and

"when PHP hits the closing tag, it simply starts outputting whatever it finds until it hits another opening tag"


i also tried putting a space after the closing tag but php parser eats it too.

is there any way to turn this "feature" off? ;)
i really need php to only parse php tags and keep the rest intact.

thanks for your help.
-jj
