Have you tried <?php echo "hello world 1"; ?> <? echo "hello world 2"; ?> Keep it simple to start with! Is that what you meant? As to your code, you still have while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ echo "<html> <body> <table> So, you would have multiple HTML and BODY tags, there should only be one of each... echo "<html> <body>"; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ "<table>... And if you are still having problems, cut your long line into single echos - you will be able to find any errors easier echo '<table>'; echo '<tr>'; echo "<td width='30%' height='25'><font face='verdana' size='1' color='black'>".$row['itemName']."</font></td>"; etc. Again, simplifying it... -- Pete Clark Sunny Andalucia http://www.hotcosta.com/comm_1.htm
