OK. I tried everything, escape, no escape... Looks like the problem in in
the "=" sign. For some reason always two characters after = are missing.
Could somebody tell me why?

This: (I am trying different ways)
---------------------------------------------
if ($diatery1 == "Y")
{$html .= " <tr>
    <td>Dietary Restrictions2</td>
    <td><input type='text' name='$diatery2' size='30' value='none'></td>
   </tr>\n";
}

if ($studOrg1 == "Y")
{
$html .= " <tr>\n";
$html .= " <td>Student Organization/School</td>\n";
$html .= " <td><input type='text' name='";
$html .= $_POST['studOrg2'] ;
$html .= "' size='30'></td> \n";
$html .= " </tr> \n\n";
}
-------------------------------------
gives me this:
--------------------------------------
<tr>
    <td>Dietary Restrictions2</td>
    <td><input type=ext' name=xtc1RUDFC1' size=0' value=one'></td>
   </tr>
 <tr>
  <td>Student Organization/School</td>
  <td><input type=ext' name=xtc1RUDFC4' size=0'></td>
 </tr>
-----------------------------------------
I tried different methods, but nothing. What is going on? Well, I am quite
a newbie, so I may not see something. Can anybody?

Thanks
