newline command

[Anon]

Using \n for newline doesn't seem to have any effect. I just can't see what could be wrong. It's a straight forward script. The following script produce everything on one line rather than separated by 2 blank lines.

I'm new to PHP. Can anyone show me where I went wrong?

I'm using PHP4.0.3 for Windows, running under PWS for WIn98.

Thanks
Steve

<?php

for ($i=1; $i <=10 ; $i++){
echo "This is line $i\n\n";
}

?>

A neline isn't recognized by html so if yo uwere to use the code you provided and you viewed the source the newlines would be there but to see them on the screen you will need to echo a <br> in there

just wanted to add that if you look at your html source code, all of your lines should be seperated nicely; remember html recognizes any spaces greater than length of one as one space.
