"\n" fails to work.

Hi all.

With any php script, I cannot get "\n" to work eg :

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', true);
ini_set('html_errors', false);
// Simple array:
$array = array(1, 2);
$count = count($array);
for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {
echo "\nChecking $i: \n";
echo "Bad: " . $array['$i'] . "\n";
echo "Good: " . $array[$i] . "\n";
echo "Bad: {$array['$i']}\n";
echo "Good: {$array[$i]}\n";
}
?>

Outputs everything on to the one line, except when it runs out of length. Even "\r\n" fails.

Am running PHP Version 4.4.0-4 with Apache 2 under Linux (2.4.26).

TIA,
David

Yes, because what you output in PHP is supposed to be HTML, right ?

So use

print "Hello <br>\n";

instead

The '\n' is just here to beautify the HTML source code only.

Thanks. That works, but it's not as tidy as what the "\n" should do (at least according to the tutorial I'm using and my experience with C).

Will do unless someone has a better solution :-)

Oh, it works. Just view source and you'll agree. It so happens that it doesnt work in the way you want it to, and the way you want requires using a <br /> or <br> in (X)HTML.
