Note Submitter: Raja Govindan ---- I was trying to read an output from a shell script execution and display on a webpage. File reading and displaying on STDOUT (monitor) is all fine , but when display it on a web page, the end new line character diplays an additional blank lines. Below all failed to remove the blank line character... ---------------------------------------------------- #echo "<b><font color=blue><pre>" .htmlspecialchars($line) . "</pre></br >"; #echo "<b><font color=blue><pre>" .str_replace("\n", " ", $line) . "</p re></br>"; #echo "<b><font color=blue><pre>". ltrim($line) . "</pre></br>"; // get rid of any leading spaces #echo "<b><font color=blue><pre>". rtrim($line) . "</pre></br>"; // ge t rid of any newline characters #echo "<b><font color=blue><pre>". substr($line, 0, 70) . "</pre></br>" ; // get rid of any newline characters echo "<b><font color=blue>". $line . "</br>"; // get rid of any newline characters output was consistent on IE 6.0 ---------------------------------- > total 14550 > drwxr-xr-x 2 staff abc 512 Aug 26 2005 . > drwxr-xr-x 19 staff abc 512 Feb 16 14:48 .. > -rw-r--r-- 1 staff abc 7435385 Aug 18 file_out > -rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 50 Aug 18 2005 ut_2 -------------------------------------------------- Correct script : Below script is used to get rid of the additional new line character. -- $contents = file ('ftp_files.out'); foreach ($contents as $value) { # IF new line character is not found then then print the line # echo ($value{0}!="\n")? "<pre>". $value. "<br>" : "</pre>"; } output is : ----------------------------------------------------------- > total 14550 > drwxr-xr-x 2 staff abc 512 Aug 26 2005 . > drwxr-xr-x 19 staff abc 512 Feb 16 14:48 .. > -rw-r--r-- 1 staff abc 7435385 Aug 18 file_out > -rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 50 Aug 18 2005 ut_2 -----------------------------------------------------------
