Hya,

I was wondering, is there a way to make the html code gererated by a php script look neat?

I have a page that runs 3 for loops, it works fine, but when i look the source code in the html page it has about 1000 blank lines. Is there a way around that??

Thank you all

Show the code?
Do you have alot of \n's repeating?

All I'll say is that PHP is your slave and it does exactly what you tell it to do.

Yeah Keith is right here. It's up to you to put in the proper \n\t in your strings if you don't it will not have the indentions. But then again who cares?

Yeah, PHP does exactly what you tell it, but I have noticed that some browsers' 'View Source' will put in more whitespace than others.

That's odd, it's not the browser that reads the PHP and white space, it's the server that parss it and outputs it to the browser.

Also, at least in my older version (can't remember the number) of PHP there's a little catch: if you include (e.g. function declaration) files that have accidental linefeeds after the ending ?> tag, they will show up in the beginning of the outputted html as blank lines. In Fedora Linux, I guess this also screwed up the meaning of the meta-tags that declared my charset and my browser used some default charset that messed up my special characters (I'm scandinavian).

But yet - PHP just did what it was told
