[SOLVED] script causing odd gap

[aebstract]

<?php

    $color1 = "#dddddd"; 
    $color2 = "#c0c0c0"; 
    $row_count = 0;
$parts .= "<table width=732 cellpadding=3><tr bgcolor=#b2b2b2 cellspacing=6><td width=10 align=center>L</td><td width=10 align=center><strong>R</td><td width=10 align=center></td><td width=10 align=center>LOC</td><td>Part Number</td><td>Description</td></tr><br />";


$result2 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM parts WHERE MCHN='PH' ORDER BY LOC ASC") or DIE(mysql_error());
while($r2=mysql_fetch_array($result2)) 
{ 
$loc=$r2["LOC"];
$pn=$r2["PN"];
$desc=$r2["DESC"];

$row_color = ($row_count % 2) ? $color1 : $color2;

$parts .= "<tr cellspacing=6><td align=center>1</td><td align=center>2</td><td align=center>3</td><td align=center bgcolor=\"$row_color\">$loc</td><td bgcolor=\"$row_color\">$pn</td><td bgcolor=\"$row_color\">$desc</td></tr><br />";

$row_count++;
}

$parts .= "</table>";



$content .= "
<p><u>$plantloc</u> - Paw Harvester</p>
";



echo "$content";
echo "$parts";

?>

 

This script is causing a weird gap of blank space between $content & $parts and I don't see a reason for it to do so?

My best guess is its because of the <p> (paragraph) tag.

It was the line breaks at the end. I don't know why I put them at the end of the rows, but solved it.
