Line breaks inside heredoc...

mrbaseball34

Can the /n line break be used INSIDE a heredoc block?

  echo <<<END_OF_FOOTER
      <tr bgcolor="#00318C">
        <td align="center" colspan="8">
          <input type="submit" name="gamesubmit" /n
                 value="Submit" width="35" height="20">
        </td>
      </tr>
    </table>
    </form>
END_OF_FOOTER;

I'd like to have a line break before the value attribute in the input
tag above.

You could, but why bother? There's one already there (as there is on the end of every line in the heredoc string). If you want two, just hit Enter twice.

this:

  echo <<<END_OF_HEADER
  <body bgcolor="white" text="black" link="blue" vlink="purple" alink="red" margin="0">
      <form action="storegame.php" method="post" name="Storegame">
        <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="700" border="1" bordercolor="black">
          <tr>
            <td class="RedLine_C">Game No</td>
            <td class="RedLine_C">GameDate</td>
            <td class="RedLine_C">GameTime</td>
            <td class="RedLine_C">Visitor</td>
            <td class="RedLine_C">Visitor Score</td>
            <td class="RedLine_C">Home</td>
            <td class="RedLine_C">Home Score</td>
            <td class="RedLine_C">Field</td>
         </tr>           

END_OF_HEADER;
    echo <<<END_OF_SECTION
        <tr>
          <td valign="top" align="center" width="65"><font face="Veranda,Arial" size="2">
            $gameno</font>
          </td>
END_OF_SECTION;

outputs this:

  <body bgcolor="white" text="black" link="blue" vlink="purple" alink="red" margin="0">
      <form action="storegame.php" method="post" name="Storegame">
        <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="700" border="1" bordercolor="black">
          <tr>
            <td class="RedLine_C">Game No</td>
            <td class="RedLine_C">GameDate</td>
            <td class="RedLine_C">GameTime</td>
            <td class="RedLine_C">Visitor</td>
            <td class="RedLine_C">Visitor Score</td>
            <td class="RedLine_C">Home</td>
            <td class="RedLine_C">Home Score</td>
            <td class="RedLine_C">Field</td>
         </tr>           

                 <tr>
          <td valign="top" align="center" width="65"><font face="Veranda,Arial" size="2">
            107</font>
          </td>

Note the indented <tr>?

I want them all to line up. Call me anal retentive, I don't care, I
just like all my stuff to be correctly indented.

I think it may be coming form the previous echo (it has some extra space:

"         "

on the end of it).

not in my editor...But...I finally got it using \n instead of /n...
DUH!!
