I had an extra " in there, you might try it again.

It's funny, I have to admit I was wondering what you were doing there, now I see you tried to follow something I suggested in another thread. But in that thread the "phr" was just an example, not meant to be literal, it should be replaced with the actual phrase you're constructing (which in this case I believe is $vbphrase['private_messages_nav'].

Also you have a <phrase> tag in your output, but that's a tag to be used in templates so I don't think you should be 'echoing' it as output. I think "construct_phrase" does the same thing in a php program so you should be using the return value of that as part of your output.

Just wanted to clarify what I was trying to say - if anyone else wants to help, go for it.
