i know in html it's <br>, but what is it in php? Thanks!

    Since PHP's output would normally be HTML code, it would still be <br>, or <br /> 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.

      On windows it's \n
      *nix its something like ascii(100)
      Mac its something like ascii(110)

        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, <br> in php also or \n to show new lines in source output.

          i tried
          echo "<br>";
          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'
