[SOLVED] echo output, not what I expected...

[tefuzz]

still learning 

 

i have functions that populate drop down lists for my form, i just want non breaking spaces between them...so i used this line

echo (getMonths("month") . "  " . getDays("day") . "  " . getYears("year", "1900", "2009") . "\n</td>\n</tr>");

 

but it does not echo the spaces, they don't even come up in the page source...actually...4 spaces come up after all the code tat gets created from the function, but nowhere else...the lists show, and the </td> and </tr> are in the page source, but not the spaces...am I thinking too hard for this

try...

echo (getMonths("month") . "  " . getDays("day") . "  " . getYears("year", "1900", "2009") . "\n</td>\n</tr>");

actually if i do the following... the ZZZ shows up after the 3 drop down lists... ???

 

echo (getMonths("month") . " ZZZ " . getDays("day") . "  " . getYears("year", "1900", "2009") . "\n</td>\n</tr>");

Not sure if this would make much a different, but try passing them as parameters to echo:

echo getMonths("month"),"  ",getDays("day"),"  ",getYears("year", "1900", "2009"),"\n</td>\n</tr>";

 

If not, make sure error_reporting(E_ALL); is a the top of your script.
