Im a bit befuddled on this, as by everything I can see, this should work... but its not. Im missing something elemental, and its probably staring me right in the face. The variable $m equals big. Heres my code thus far:

PHP Code:       $contents=                echo <li><a href=\../.$m..php
      .?lg=
      ..$_GET[lg].
      .
      .\>.$m.</a></li>;
Heres what I was expecting:

PHP Code:                 echo <li><a href=../big.php?lg=.$_GET[lg].>big</a></li>;
Heres what I got:

PHP Code:                 echo <li><a href=../big.php?lg=..>big</a></li>;
Its missing the output of the $_GET ... it seems as if its trying to DO the get, rather than place the word in the string. Can anybody untie this knot?
