Should I be using echo? In the PHP code snippet you pasted above, you're using single-quotes to delimit your literal strings. In-between single-quotes, '\n' is not converted to a newline character. It's interpeted completely literally: http://us.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.syntax.single Also, are you looking to insert a line break into the HTML itself -- just to keep your HTML code clean -- or into the visible page that's rendered from the HTML? Because newlines don't have any significance in HTML. You'd need to insert a <br /> or close a block-level element to get the effect of a line-break in the visible page. Ben
