Barry, Since you're posting to an HTML page, you need <BR> and/or <P> to produce formatting. I'm guessing that if you look at the SOURCE for the web page you've produced, you'll see all the formatting.
So, you can either fetch the lyrics and replace all line-ends with <BR>, or else use the tags <PRE></PRE> or something similar to include the text in raw form on the webpage. The PRE tag is going to be easier, but probably quite a bit uglier. Hope that's what you were looking for? -P -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
