[FX.php List] Why doesn't this parse?

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Thanks, but... not really.

I'm not sure what to do with the echo command you offered. I already 
have an instance working where I am hardcoding the string, Case 1.  I 
need to this to come from a form entry/submission.

The application is for mass email, where the html mail is created by 
a user on a web page with variables inserted for name, etc. Upon 
submission, the html mail is parsed and real names replace variables.

So, the source of the string has to be from a form, just like the 
example on the test page I created.

Did I misunderstand your suggestion?

Jonathan
