Man, you were so right. AS soon as I saw the first Try $good = TRUE; it
dawned on me that I never set the $good to anything except FALSE. So when
it was testing for $good == TRUE it was coming up false, because $good was
never ever set to true, it was just an empty var. *smacks forhead*.

However, I changed my echo setup and went with escaping to HTML, IE:

<?php if ($good = TRUE) { ?>
blah blah <br />
<?php }; ?>

THat seems to work better, but still having issues getting the <br />
instead of the <br> it keeps punching out. Perhaps it's just in cache and I
need to clear it.

Thanks =)
