PHP question, how to skip lines

Since PHP's output would normally be HTML code, it would still be , or in XHTML.

Of course, if you want new lines within the HTML source code, then the new line sequence for the platform would do the trick.
Usually I just use "\n" for that.

i beleive ascii is a standard and its the same everywhere, newline ascii decimal 10 or 0x0A hex.
windows systems tend to like \n where unix prefers a \r\n.
but yeah like laserlight said, in php also or \n to show new lines in source output.

i tried
echo " ";
for the hell of it and it worked, thanks anyways. 🙂

Actually, the new line sequences are:

Unix: \n
Win: \r\n
Mac: \r

the newline character itself would be \n, while \r is the carriage return character.

Huh. Weird. I read somewhere that what I wrote was true.

Oh well. 🙂

You probably misread it, forgot the details, or your source is wrong.

ASCII 100 is 'd', while ASCII 110 is 'n'
