The function str_repeat() doesn't seem to work when generating spaces for web page output. There's a reason for this: the web browser is removing the excess spaces and, instead, displaying only one space. So, two ideas: 1. If you were just checking your work by outputting variables on the screen, then don't worry. It's actually working right. You just can't see it. 2. If you really want the spaces to appear on the web page, use the function this way: str_repeat(" ",$num); Hope this helps. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-repeat.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+17863 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+17863 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+17863
