Okay I am having trouble on the bolded line..what am I doing wrong?

Is this part of vbb2.0? or is this some form of .php page you are creating...

cause here is what I do.. I add \"something\" ( \ ) infront of the "'s..

echo("<TABLE CELLSPACING=\"0\" CELLPADDING=\"8\" WIDTH=\"100%\" ALIGN=\"center\" BORDER=\"0\"><TR><TD valign='top'><TABLE CELLSPACING=\"3\" CELLPADDING=\"3\" WIDTH=\"100%\" ALIGN=\"NONE\" BORDER=\"0\"><TR bgcolor='#000000'><TD bgcolor='#181c28'><font face=\"Verdana\" size=\"4\" color=\"#FFFFFF\">

that is .. if you are making up your own .php page... dunno what else.. heh I am new.. lol

and umm .. could you copy and paste your errors you are getting?

You will need to escape all quote marks in any echo blocks as so:

echo("<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"> etc. etc. etc.");
