[PHP] Re: br appear in Text file

Hi Jack, The 'black box' you see is a newline, which can be removed by doing this: $string=str_replace(\n,,$string); $string=str_replace(\r,,$string); That will replace \n (The newlines) and \r (The returns) with nothing, getting rid of your problem. Hope this helps, -Andy Jack [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well,think about it like this: If you did replace $comp name with ABC Company, this is what you'd get: input type=text size=30 name=comp_name value=ABC Company Not quite right, eh? This will solve your problem: print input type=text size=30 name=comp_name value=\$comp_name\; =) -Andy Hugh

Try adding a trailing slash to the URL, and seeing if it works. If so, then try adding the apache configuration directive: UseCanonicalName off In either httpd.conf or an .htaccess file, and try accessing without the trailing slash. I had a similar issue and adding that fixed it. Andy Loll
