Besides what was said one post above me, that code their would go directly into a plug-in without the output buffering OP mentioned. If your using output buffering nothing will show up. Output buffering is for times when code executes and echos or prints data instead of storing it in a variable, it allows you to take what would be outputed directly to the browser and store it. Like your original post that has code, if you took out the variable and quotes, all the code you have in between would need output buffering.
