You have a number of options to do this. As there is no variable interpolation anywhere in there, you could just break out of PHP and do it as straight HTML: ... ?> FilmCanister Desktops Coming SoonDesktop Pictures (2.83 GB Worth) ... '; If you plan to have variables in there at some point, you can either use segments, or use a heredoc: echo << ... END; or, again, you could use a multi-line string -- but this time double-quoted to give interpolation (but note that you now have to escape all your embedded double quotes): echo " ... "; Which route you choose is pretty much personal taste -- personally, if I have a page that's mostly straight HTML with not much PHP code, I write it as HTML with embedded PHP snippets, but I know some people think that looks weird or ugly...!

Re: [PHP-DB] Quick Question: Line Breaks
\n is not converted to a newline unless you use double quotes around the string.

[PHP-DB] Quick Question: Line Breaks
Hello, I have a couple of quick questions. When I execute this code on my php page (I know that the .PSD image isn¹t web ready, but Safari does what I need it to do :) ) it displays the entire source as one line. Is there anyway to have it be broken. I have read places (internet sites) that say that the following solutions might work: echo ¹;\n\n echo ¹\n\n ; echo \n\n¹; None of them seem to work, am I doing something wrong? echo ''; echo ''; echo ''; echo ''; echo 'FilmCanister Desktops'; echo ''; echo ''; echo ''; echo ''; echo ''; echo ''; echo 'Coming SoonDesktop Pictures (2.83 GB Worth)'; echo ''; echo ''; echo ''; Also, I am looking for a good freeware image gallery for Linux/Apache, if anybody has any suggestions please help out. Thanks for advance. Jacob
