PHP MY Actual script output is different???
First and foremost, thank you for all the time you are putting into helping me! I am not the best scripter (I know, it's quite obvious)!!

Here is the code I used. Note, I am including everything in the shell script that has to do with my output:
Code:
echo_info()
{
echo " "
echo "============>>>    NEW Alarm Notification from SPECTRUM    <<<============"
echo "=========================================================================="
echo "      A ${SEV} ALARM JUST OCCURRED ON ${MNAME}"
echo "=========================================================================="
echo ""
echo "===>>>  ALERT TYPE: ${ONELINE}"
echo ""
echo "Date:                 " $DATE
echo "Time:                 " $TIME
echo "Alarm Severity:  " $SEV
echo "Alarm Acknowledged? " ${ACK}
echo " "
echo "###########  DEVICE/MODEL INFORMATION  ###########"
echo "${MNAME} is modeled on ${SERVER} "
echo "IPAddress:       " $IPADDRESS
echo "ModelName:       " $MNAME
echo ""
echo "Global AlarmID:  " $GLOBAL_ALARM_ID
#******************************
#        Test Section
#******************************
echo ""
DJL=$(printf "%s\n" "$EVENTMSG" | sed -ne "s/.*Device\s[  ]*\(.*\)/\1/p")
ABC=$(printf "%s\n" "$EVENTMSG" | sed -ne 's/.*of\stype\s[      ]*\([^.]\{1,\}\).*/\1/p')
printf " MODEL NAME:\t%s\n MODEL TYPE:\t%s\n" "$DJL" "$ABC"
 
###########################################################################
#  The following parameters contain values only when
#  the SPECTRUM Alarm Notification Manager is enabled.
###########################################################################
if [ "$SANM" ]
then
echo ""
echo "SANM AlarmAge Setting: ${AGE} minute(s)"
echo "NotificationData:" $NOTIFDATA
echo ""                                         # insert blank line
fi
# This variable has substituted placeholder chars, echo them inside quotes
echo "EventMessage:     $EVENTMSG"
echo ""
echo ""
}

When an alarm came in that followed the alarm filtering criteria the output is as follows:
Code:
============>>>    NEW Alarm Notification from SPECTRUM    <<<============
==========================================================================
      A MAJOR ALARM JUST OCCURRED ON lp-webtactst01
==========================================================================
 
===>>>  ALERT TYPE: MANAGEMENT AGENT LOST

SANM AlarmAge Setting: 0 minute(s)
NotificationData:

This condition has persisted for an extended amount of time.  An alarm will be generated.   (event [0x00010daa])

As you can see, I am not getting my desired outcome. I was expecting the following output:
Code:
============>>>    NEW Alarm Notification from SPECTRUM    <<<============
==========================================================================
      A MAJOR ALARM JUST OCCURRED ON lp-webtactst01
==========================================================================
