Thanks in advance. Well, $fp is not the contents of the file, but just a pointer. What you really want is file() $text = file('./file.txt'); will give you an array $file, where each element is a line in the file, with the newline attached. To do the same thing after fopen()ing the file you would need to use fgets() or fread(). The examples in the docs will be a bit more enlightening. -- David Robley Techno-JoaT, Web Maintainer, Mail List Admin, etc CENTRE FOR INJURY STUDIES Flinders University, SOUTH AUSTRALIA A camel is a horse planned by committee.
