Re: putting strings together with a linefeed

----- Original Message ----- From: "Hull, Douglas D" <ddhull@ku.edu> For example, say I have a variable $mytext = 'what up doc'. Now I want to add the text 'not much' to the end of this variable. But I want to place a return or linefeed after the original text so when I echo $mytext it looks like: what up doc not much I tried: $mytext = 'what up doc'; $mytext .= chr(10) . 'not much'; I also tried chr(13) 10 is linefeed and 13 is carriage return. ************************ What is missing is the markup interpreted by the browser. (Check the source after the script is processed). Something like this perhaps? <? $mytext = "<p style='margin:0'>what up doc</p>"; $mytext .= chr(10) . "<p style='margin:0'>not much</p>"; ?> <p><?=$mytext;?></p> The source of the document received from the server as text/html reads <p style='margin:0'>what up doc</p> <p style='margin:0'>not much</p> and this is interpreted and displayed by the browser as what up doc not much Louise
