You need to ask general questions, such as this question, at [EMAIL PROTECTED] This php-doc list is not for general questions. However, I have included an answer below.

Have i to download a newer version of PHP? >I'm using MSIE 6.0 > I suspect that what you show as the output here is the output on a web page. That is not the same thing as the output from PHP. In your browser, look at the source of the web page and you will see the actual output of PHP. Then, the browser interprets that output as HTML to display the web page. You need to include the correct HTML code in your print statements to get the output to look the way you want it to on the web page. For instance, I suspect the following code will get the output you expect: echo "<pre>"; print_r($array); echo "<pre>"; As far as \n, only PHP understands this code, not HTML. \n means start a new line in the PHP output. However, new lines are mainly ignored by HTML. If you want to start a new line in HTML, you need to include <br>.
