Re: Echo issue

Payne Wrtote: \n is what you are needing. \n means new line. So you want a new line you have to do this.... echo ("abc\n"); echo ("Elm Street\n"); echo ("Anytown, NY 00000 \n"); to get abc Elm Street Anytown, NY 00000 you can also use a printf then you can use html code to get the same <br>. You might want to grab you one for beginner C or PHP books, they usually all \ and example what are for. Or do a search on Google. Payne David Otton wrote:

I have spent about an hour looking at this and have found I can't echo anything with 16 characters or less! It can be over a single line or multiple lines eg. <?php echo("12345678"); echo("12345678"); ?> ->"" but <?php echo("12345678"); echo("123456789"); ?> ->12345678123456789 Am I missing something really obvious here?

In the old C days, buffering while writing to a file could give this effect. I have /no/ idea how that applies to your situation, though. Is it a CGI install? Are there any options for buffering data between spawned programs on your OS? What happens if you explicitly flush() after the echo? Sorry I can't offer anything more concrete.
