seems like your new to HTML too...

do you mean they display on the same line after you've submitted the form or what?

yes after i'v submitted the form. And i want it too display in a new line not the same.

Thanks

you've posted the wrong bit of code, you need to post the bit of code that looks at the form AFTER it's been submitted... welcome.php?

if you want to display a result in a new line
use this "\n" on your php code (if you just want a clear view of your list in loop..or <br /> tags in html...
