Please post the current version of the script.
We assume that you have now sorted out the multi-line "echo" statements (which do not work in every Shell) and of course the quotes in:
if [ "$variable" = "something" ]
statements which stops the condition being erroneously treated as a numeric compare.

Btw. This will be a lot quicker if you post the exact script, what you typed, and exactly how the script replied verbatim.

SYNOPSIS
bool output_add_rewrite_var (string $name, string $value) DESCRIPTION

Note Calling this function will implicitly start output buffering if it is not active already. PARAMETERS
o $name - The variable name. o $value - The variable value. RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. EXAMPLES
Example #1 output_add_rewrite_var(3) example <?php output_add_rewrite_var('var', 'value'); // some links echo '<a href="file.php">link</a> <a href="http://example.com">link2</a>'; // a form echo '<form action="script.php" method="post"> <input type="text" name="var2" /> </form>'; print_r(ob_list_handlers()); ?> The above example will output: <a href="file.php?var=value">link</a> <a href="http://example.com">link2</a> <form action="script.php" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="var" value="value" /> <input type="text" name="var2" /> </form> Array ( [0] => URL-Rewriter ) SEE ALSO
