Welcome to our little band!
"Tuxedo Junction" does that mean that there is a dress code on the Internet in Canada?
The echo command outputs one or more strings:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.echo.php.
If you have more than one string, they must be separated with commas.
Alternatively you could join the three strings together using the concatenation
operator:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.string.php
The "\n" question (newline character) is answered/illustrated in the first link above
(and many other places -
try throwing it into the manual's search facility).
You sound as if you're just starting out. There are many PHP/MySQL tutorials on the
web. Start at the host sites
and check out links, otherwise chuck a few of the key words at Google.
