echoing spaces?

[nubble]

I know this is probably a stupid question, but I have to ask :)  How do you get PHP to echo a space?  code is horking... any ideas?  right now I"m trying to echo ' ' - server doesn't like that too much :)

<?
mysql_connect("bleh.net", "bleh", "bleh");
mysql_select_db("chondros");
$critter = "BM05J10";
$sql = "SELECT `snakeID`, `locality`, `neonate_color`, `sex`, `description` FROM `general` WHERE `snakeID` LIKE '$critter'";
$query = mysql_query($sql);
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)){
echo '<p class="heading">';
echo $row['locality']. '&nbsp;' $row['sex']. '</p>';
echo '<hr size="1" noshade color="#5B7331">';
echo '<p class="text1">';
echo $row['neonate_color'].'<br />';
echo $row['description'].'</p>';
} ?>

[b]Update:[/b] You need a[tt] . [/tt]between your quotes and the next variable.

was playing around wonder if this will work?

[code]

<?php

mysql_connect("bleh.net", "bleh", "bleh");
mysql_select_db("chondros");

$critter = "BM05J10";

$sql = "SELECT `snakeID`, `locality`, `neonate_color`, `sex`, `description` FROM `general` WHERE `snakeID` LIKE '$critter' ";

$query = mysql_query($sql)or die("query problam mysql()");

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)){

$x= "<p class='heading'> ".$row['locality']." \t ".$row['sex']." </p>";
$x.= "<hr size='1' noshade color='#5B7331'>";
$x.= "<p class='text1'>";
$x.= " ".$row['neonate_color']." ";
$x.= " ".$row['description']."</p>";

echo $x;
}
?>

[/code]
