"\r\n" should give a carriage return. i.e: $mytext = 'what up doc'; $mytext .= '\r\n not much'; --Nicole --------------------------- Nicole Swan Web Programming Specialist Carroll College CCIT (406)447-4310 -----Original Message----- From: Hull, Douglas D [mailto:ddhull@xxxxxx] Sent: Friday, April 16, 2004 10:24 AM To: Note To php mysql List (E-mail) Subject: putting strings together with a linefeed For example, say I have a variable $mytext = 'what up doc'. Now I want to add the text 'not much' to the end of this variable. But I want to place a return or linefeed after the original text so when I echo $mytext it looks like: what up doc not much I tried: $mytext = 'what up doc'; $mytext .= chr(10) . 'not much'; I also tried chr(13) 10 is linefeed and 13 is carriage return. Thanks for your previous help as well.
