[Resolved] The use of \n

[Phrank]

Have read this but not sure now.

I thought you could put \n at the end of an echo stmt to get a CRLF.

This doesn't work:

<?
echo "here I am.\n";
echo "Here I am again!.";
?>

This does:

<?
echo "here I am.<br>";
echo "Here I am again!.";
?>

What is the \n for?

Real newbie quesiton.

\n is a newline. <br> is an html break. \n will show in your formatted source. Do this: create one page like this

echo "Here I am.<br>";
echo "Here I am again!"; 

Then view the source of the page. It will show "Here I am.<br>Here I am again!". Then put the \n in there and it'll show
"Here I am.<br>
Here I am again!"
