New line not working after join()

[pog21]

Hi,

I have some code that adds html to an array, then joins the array using join() and echos the result. Problem is, when I use \n or \r\n it gets printed on the page, instead of formatting the html source.

eg. Adding to array:

$output[] = '<td>\n';
$output[] = '<form action="cart.php" method="POST">\n';
$output[] = '<input type="hidden" name="action" value="add">\n';

etc...
then I join it:

echo join('',$output);

The result is html that actually prints "\n" to the page, and does not create a line break in the html.
I've also tried using "\r\n" with no success. 😕

Any ideas???

Use:
$output[] = "<td>\n";
Instead of:
$output[] = '<td>\n';

Newlines dont get parsed inside single quotes.

EDIT:
Even better would be that you use single quotes and remove newlines from the $output and then with join:

$text = join("\n",$output);

This will join them together with newline between lines.

Thanks, that works perfectly.
