Store echo within a variable?

Hi :)

could anyone tell me how I would store a echo statement within a variable? I tried the following but it didn't work :(

PHP Code:


		
			
        $sql = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM links, sponsor ORDER BY id DESC");

        while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql)) {

            $sponsors = echo "

            <table align=center border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=5><tr><td class="alt1">

            ".($row['link'])."  ,  ".($row['sponsor'])."<br />

            </td>

            </tr>

            </table>

            ";

            $i++;

}

do I have to use something else instead of echo and if I do, would the while loop still work? thanks in advance :)

Why are you trying to store the echo ?

Pretty much I want to store it in the variable, so that I can call it within a template or the custom page that I'm creating. Because if I just use the echo alone, the information appears at the very top of the page and above the header and everything else, hope I'm making any sense.

er yeah, what paul said. For some reason I thought you were trying to call a template in a template. =p
