Displaying Template From MYSQl Table Using PHP eval() - Extra Line Break?

tlshaheen

Each article that I create has its own unique URL. In each page is the corresponding code, which pulls the template (which is a mix of PHP/HTML/CSS) for the page from a MYSQL table. For some reason, it adds a line break at the top of the page, pushing everything down. Attached is a diagram of what I mean - for the real life example, please PM me. The code that is stored in MySQL is not the problem - it is the method in which I process it, eval().

How can I get rid of this line break?

Thanks

<?php  $article_id = '390';
								  ?><?php
	require_once($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/includes/db.php");
	$sql = "SELECT Above_Content, Below_Content FROM templates WHERE ID = '1'";
	$query = mysql_query($sql);
	if ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
		echo eval("?>".$row['Above_Content']);
$sql = "SELECT article_title, article_intro, article_content, author_id, creation_date, last_modified_date FROM articles WHERE article_id = '390'";
				$query = mysql_query($sql);
				if ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) { ?>  

   		 		<p><?php echo $row['article_content']; ?></p>
				<?php
				}
						$sql = "SELECT Above_Content, Below_Content FROM templates WHERE ID = '1'";
		$query = mysql_query($sql);
		if ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
			echo eval("?>".$row['Below_Content']);
		}
	}
?>

It is almost impossible to tell from that php code.
PHP produces HTML and the HTML should be looked at
to see what can cause this 'extra line'.

Not only one <br /> can cause this.
We also have CSS margin and padding of <div> boxes.

Can you post that part of the HTM Source where is the extra line
and with the CSS variables that controls that part.

Thank you for your reply! I am, simply put, an idiot. Haha really, I've spent hours upon hours trying to figure out why this is happening, and I thought it was the eval - it was actually just an extra line "type="text/css"" outside of the < marks, and so it was showing up as text, pushing everything down. Thanks for reminding me to go take a look into the HTML.
