Gosh, this is really unreadable code, I think you should make it more 
readable , it's far easier to see HTML errors if you don't use that many 
echo's.

tried:

$output = <<< EOF
<div class='bcol2'>
* {$nbumber} *<br />
<a 
href='http://mroldies.net/index2.php?year={$year}&amp;nid={$number}'>{$vid[0]}</a>
<br />
{$vid[1]}
<br />
{$vid[3]}
</div>
EOF;

sure your notepad++ would become a lot happier too.

To make a good code, you separate PHP functions and HTML generation as 
much as possible, you don't need to echo, just end the PHP parsing with 
a endtag and start it again with a starttag when you need, that is less 
stressing for the system than using echo.
