New Line

[mikerh9]

Sorry for this simple question.

File1 doesn't make line brake between Hello World.
Any ideas why?
When I use <br> in file 2 it does put brake between $var1 and $var2, but when I use "\n" it doesn't

The "\n" and "<br>" have the same functionality.

//File1
<?php $var1 = "Hello";
$var2 = "World";
echo $var1."\n";
echo $var2; ?>

//File2
<?php $var1 = "Hello";
$var2 = "World";
echo $var1."<br>";
echo $var2;
?>

newline and break do not have the same functionality. Using a newline will render a new line in your code(view the source). If you want the break on the page, you need to use a break tag. See [man]nl2br[/man]

To put it another way, if you were writing $var1 and $var2 to a file and wanted to parse them out later, you would use /n
If you want a web page to render a new line, use <br>
