That should work. I would think it works. You know the word "echo" so it seems odd that you wouldn't have tried this already - but you didn't say you tried anything.
One thing you may need to be aware of is if you use mod_rewrite... Things make look a little funny.
Thanks mate, just tried that but it shows on the page as exactly that, no parsing of any kind, unless I've missed something?
I know very little about coding at all, or I would have tried to help myself :-)
