I *know* that the browser is displaying the newline as a space. You could display the rows using an HTML table, like this: echo "<TABLE>"; while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { printf("<TR><TD>%s<TD>%s<TD>%s", $myrow["fname"], $myrow["lname"], $myrow["email"]); echo "</TABLE>"; Regards, Carroll Barrett
