embeding code in variable

[whiterabbit]

I would like to take a chunk of code as below and assign it to a variable so I can insert it formatted into one field of a database.

Thanks for your help

    for ($i = 0 ; $i < $num_elements ; ++$i) { 
    echo ("<tr><td>$itemno[$i]</td>
    <td align='center'>$items[$i]</td>
    <td align='center'>$qty[$i]</td>
    <td align='center'>$rush</td>
    <td align='center'>$cost[$i]</td>
    <td align='center'>$tcost[$i]</td>
    </tr>");
}

Never mind on this one. I got it,

Thanks anyway.
