Simple PHP Question

Expand Post »

Ok here is my code:

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
 
<html>
 
<head>
<title> PHP Test Page </title>
</head>
 
<body>
 
<?php
 
echo date("H:i");
echo gmdate("M d Y");
 
$counter_file = "count.dat";
 
if(!($fp = fopen($counter_file, "r"))) die ("Cannot open $counter_file.");
$counter = (int) fread($fp, 20);
fclose($fp);
 
$counter++;
 
echo "You're visitor No. $counter.";
$fp = fopen($counter_file, "w");
fwrite($fp, $counter);
fclose($fp);
 
?>
</body>
 
</html>
 
<html>
 
<head>
<title> PHP Test Page </title>
</head>
 
<body>
 
<?php
 
echo date("H:i");
echo gmdate("M d Y");
 
$counter_file = "count.dat";
 
if(!($fp = fopen($counter_file, "r"))) die ("Cannot open $counter_file.");
$counter = (int) fread($fp, 20);
fclose($fp);
 
$counter++;
 
echo "You're visitor No. $counter.";
$fp = fopen($counter_file, "w");
fwrite($fp, $counter);
fclose($fp);
 
?>
</body>
 
</html>

this makes output saying:

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
 
18:32Mar 12 2007You're visitor No. 5.
 
18:32Mar 12 2007You're visitor No. 5.

how can i make it so that they are on different lines, e.g

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
 
18:32
Mar 12 2007
You're visitor No. 5.
 
 
18:32
Mar 12 2007
You're visitor No. 5.

?>
 
</body>
</html>

Re: Simple PHP Question

As long as you supply the correct path to your database and the correct password.

Then select the correct database you should be good to go.

18:32Mar 12 2007You're visitor No. 5.

Just use a tags within an echo. like this

echo' ';

after each output that you want to see
