Try posting more of your script and I should be able to help you.Right now the only problem I see is that this:

echo "<font color='red'>". $i ."</font>

Should be this:

echo "<font color='red'>". $i ."</font>";

Please post more than three lines though so I can see what you're trying to do.Also, you may want to use   instead of a space to make sure that the web browser shows the space.

Yeah, you want to use   because broswers ignore spaces that aren't surrounded by text. As for adding a backspace though... that just doesn't make any sense...
