PHP linebreak problem?

Question

Hi!
I am starting to learn PhP. I've installed easyPhP latest version (not beta). but there's a problem
I am not seeing linebreaks in the browser output. instead it'll show everything in the same line.
eg print " $myname\n"; print "$yourname\n";
would be printed $myname$yourname, instead of
$myname
$yourname
I even tried using '
' tags in html islands, but neither is working.
Can anybody suggest me something on this

Answer 1

use:



echo '$myname
';

echo '$yourname';





\n only affects the source code, not the browser output.



If you want to print the values of $myname and $yourname, use double quotation marks instead.

Answer 2

They're right, you would usually have to put the
tag in a string literal and display it directly onto the browser; however, php servers are programmed to recognize certain characters within a string..to cut to the chase, here's how you would go about solving this...



$printMe =



$myname +

"

"

+ $yourname



what this does, it stores within the printMe string a literal containing line breaks, which is the purpose of concatenating the strings to together!

now, use the function nl2br(); to replace the line break in the sstring!



nl2br($printMe);





Hope this helps!
