Newlines added to output

[Anon]

Hello All,

I've been using many function calls to perform certain tasks (i.e. update a mySQL database or calculate a value) and to display data. I've noticed in the output to my web pages that there are many newline characters added into the output. The code gets separated by many newlines.

Anyone know the cause of this?

Thanks in advance
Victor

try using the html tag <BR> instead of \n .. i think \n works in the same mannor as <p> does in html

Hi Peter,

Tks for your answer. I don't think I was clear before. When I do a view source on the output web page, the html is fine but for some reason '\n' is inserted into the webpage between sections of code that is output fro PHP. It seems to be from iterations of a loop or function call that puts these newlines into the output. Do any of the control structures output a '\n' by default or could it be calls to the mySQL database?

Tks
Victor
