Stripping Content-type: text/html

I've got a newbie question I was hoping someone can help me with. I've want to run a program and output the results. So I'm doing something like: $output = fortune; echo $output; But of course I get the "Content-type: text/html" in the browser. I can strip the Content... string from $output, but that seems like a kludgy solution. Have I missed a useful function? Anyone want to whack me with a clue bat as the best approach to take for this? TIA. -- Regards, | Why would anyone want to run an operating . | system that is open source and is developed Randy | by hundreds of hackers worldwide?
