Hi! thank you so much for your help!! do you mean to do ob_get_contents() before i do a ob_end_flush()? but even if i'm successful in counting the number of "\n"s, HTML tags like <html>,<head>,<script> will also give me a count for "\n"s but in actual fact, they do not contribute to the screen output. how can i get round this problem? =( thanks thanks... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jyrki Laurila" <jyrki.laurila@xxxxxxxxx> To: <php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, April 15, 2005 5:25 PM Subject: Re: Counting HTML Lines > Firstly, you are printing the output directly, so in case you don't > mark the lines you are printing out after each section, there is no > way to count the lines. > > Secondly, "HTML" doesn't "push" the text automatically to anywhere, it > is your text-editor. > HTML is presented as it's written on the file.
