oops ... it seems that I misunderstood the problem. The T_STRING error
is caused by an apostraphe in the text. I looked on php.net and it
seems to suggest that I should use rawurlencode(), but that doesn't
make any difference - I still get the error.

Also, I lose all my newlines ... I'm playing around with the cat
job_description function...
