Re: [phplib] [for Menu Bar] creation of GIF image buttons in PHP - won't accept more than one word From: Gerald Howse (php <email protected>)

Thanks for your reply Steve.
can you point out to me where the code is in error in the creation
of say three words in the label only coming out as ONE, that is my biggest
problem.

You don't perhaps know of where there is an example of this type of
menu that I could view the code on?

Thanks
Gerald Howse
