code inserting <br> in output

[hellonoko]

My bellow code is causing carriage returns/<br>'s between the end of the form and the last line:

echo $row[category];

 

This also happens if I join the last two lines:

echo "</form>" . echo $row[category];

 

echo "<form id=delete_category name=delete_category method=post action=categories.php>";
	echo "<input name=action type=submit value=Delete >"; 
	echo "<input name=id type=hidden value=".$row[id].">";
	echo "</form>";
	echo $row[category];

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks.

is there a br in the code without echoing category?

[hellonoko]

Sometimes.

[trq]

echo "</form>" . $row['category'];

[hellonoko]

Yea I didn't actually have the second echo in there.

Other than the fact that your html is invalid, I don't see any problems.

 

echo "<form id='delete_category' name='delete_category' method='post' action='categories.php'>";
echo "<input name='action' type='submit' value='Delete'>"; 
echo "<input name='id' type='hidden' value='".$row[id]."'>";
echo "</form>" . $row[category];

Soft quotes hmm? Ill give it a try. Thanks.

By default, the html FORM element has margins added.  If you style the form (either in a style file or inline) by adding margin-bottom:0px that 'br' will disappear.  For example:

 

echo "<form style='margin-bottom:0px;' ........
