Hitting Enter inserts code?

[Anon]

I have this problem that when a user presses enter to write a new line in a message box in my form and submits it, it all appears fine, but when I read the file with the contents back in my admin mode, I get code inserted in there. Anyone had similar probs?

what code is inserted there? It wouldn't happen to be a "\n" would it?

no its the end of the this line, it outputs the form for the remove button into the message for some reason: ( could it be because each data entry is stored on one line ?)

$contents = file("file.txt");
$length = sizeof($contents);
// display line
for($counter=0; $counter<$length; $counter++)
    	{
    	echo "<table width=\"400\" bgcolor=\"#000033\" cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"2\" border=\"0\"><tr><td align=\"center\">$contents[$counter]<form name=\"entry\" method=\"post\" action=\"delete.php\"><font face=\"arial\" size=\"1\" color=\"#FFFFFF\">topic <font color=\"#FFFF00\">$counter </font></font><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"getline\" size=\"5\" value=\"$counter\"><input type=\"submit\" name=\"delete\" value=\"delete\"></form></td></tr></table><br>";
    	}

}

Try this: Don't use " to delimit the string, but ' instead. Then, concatenate the variables instead of including them in the string 'my name is '.$name.' yay.'. That will make it easier to see what's going on. Can you show me what you see when things go weird?
