I try to send a string back to the browser by simply doing something like echo $reply. On the browser, I received something like nn reply string value 0 nn is the length in hexadecimal of the string value! I don't know where nn and 0 are coming from and therefore don't know how to make them not appeared. Can anybody help with either question? ******************************************************************************************************************* Premium Credit Limited Main Switchboard :01372-748833 Fax :01372-748811 This E-mail message together with any attachments transmitted with it is intended only for use by its addressee and may contain information which is privileged and confidential, disclosure of which may be prohibited by law.
