Hang over from my real job, spitting out C++/C# code where the \r is
usually mandatory. Try sending just a \n to a printer. True, who sends
stuff to a real printer these days, but I did thirty years ago when I
started to really learn how to program IBM systems back then of
course with really small numbers like system/370 model 135 (about as
powerfull as a 80368).

Also many MS utilities (read: notpad which what you get from a
view->source in IE) require the \r.

It doesn't hurt the *nix systems.

Sure, I even remember having to do that a long time ago back when I had a
printer (-all of which, afaik, need both line feeds and carriage returns to
"proceed",) but got used to the \n alone from scripting the java. PHP is a
relative newcomer but alike in many ways to j/s.

I don't think I'll answer that one...

Okay, I checked Opera and found to my amazement that I didn't have
the default bg set (-or rather, it was set to white.) 'Could've
swore I set that, but it was several updates ago so the Opera company
is probably the one at fault...

Normally, white is a modern browser's default background color. Earlier
ones used grey, as I recall, old Netscapes, old IEs. In my most-used
browsers, I always set something different, so I can see when authors
forget to assign a background color. It makes for some interesting
viewing.

That leaves ie6, which will be ie6. (Have ie7 on another box; will
check it later.)

IE6 was white, as I recall.

There's still a delay, but with a dark bg, it's not too bad.

If there is a delay that is truly caused by using PHP, you must be
coding something odd, or it is your web server's fault. Mine all have no
delay whatsoever, in any browser.

Frank wasn't so perfect as he was discreet. -Like me.

Good idea. I usually go for dark gray or black (with light monochromatic
text) - my preference.

Well, I've noticed delays (again - very small, from 0.5 to 2.0 secs appx.)
on _all_ my php creations, so I guess it's the server, which is Yahoo. A
second or so doesn't seem that bad to me as long as some glaring white
background isn't blinding you in the interim.

Use off-white.
