all inside of "" will be interpreted instead of things between '' will be as is ... and as "\n" means "New Line" it will do this. If you wish to print out a "\n" then you have to write it like "\\n". This is true for all special characters like: \n - new line \r - carriage return \t - tab \ - escape sign for the special characters \\ - backslash itself -- @ Goetz Lohmann, Germany | Web-Developer & Sys-Admin \/ ------------------------------------------------------ () He's the fellow that people wonder what he does and || why the company needs him, until he goes on vacation. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
