Umm... if you have a problem, please post the code. Or else we are completely in the dark. Are you sure you didn't accidentally echo a <br /> tag?

You're tokenizing everything that comes out of the database and writing each token on its own line. Is that what you're trying to do?

as i m new to this thing, i tried my level best, could't you explain to my level.

[justsomeguy]

I'm not sure what your level is, I'm just going by what's in the code. You have blocks of code like this:

<?php $string = $row['billno'];$token = strtok($string,",");while ($token !== false){  echo "$token<br />";  $token = strtok("");}?>

What are you trying to do with that? The strtok function "tokenizes" a string, that means it looks for tokens (pieces) that are separated by a given character. You first tokenize it with a comma, so it will return the part of the string before the first comma, or if the comma is the first character it will return from that until the next comma or the end of the string. It displays that, then it outputs a line break and outputs the rest of the string. So it outputs anything before a comma on one line, and everything else after it on the next line. That's what that loop is doing, there is a structure like that for most database fields.
