After the execution of the script: <?php $string = "\n\n\n\n 1"; echo addslashes($string); ?> we will get: 1 and no empty lines. If you want to output the same data, that was written using a textarea field of a form, you should use the "<br>" tag. -- Good Luck! Vladimir Please, avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
