Bug #16213 Updated: Ignores Escape Codes

ID: 16213 Updated by: rasmus@php.net Reported By: ht_regz@shaw.ca Status: Bogus Bug Type: Output Control Operating System: Windows XP Pro PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: If that's the case, then either your browser is absolutely braindead, or for some reason you are not sending text/html typed responses. You are using XP, so it is pretty hard to guess which of the thousands of ways you have to screw up you decided to use. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-21 17:40:24] ht_regz@shaw.ca Well your the experts so I'll take your word for it and apologize for posting here, but i'd also like to point out that echo "Line 1<br>"; echo "Line 2<br>"; doesn't work either, when I do that I would see Line 1<br>Line 2<br> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-21 17:36:53] rodif_bl@php.net I see what you are doing.. It's still not a bug... You are viewing this in a web browser correct? You are printing hard returns not <br>'s echo "Line 1<br>"; echo "Line 2<br>"; the other way if you "view source" you would see the Lines on different lines... So this bug is still bogus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-21 17:36:10] rasmus@php.net It is a support question because it is an HTML 101 question that most people new to this stuff asks at some point. Newlines mean nothing in HTML unless you are inside a <pre> </pre> block. Do a "view source" and you will see your newlines. If you want an actual newline in the HTML rendering you need to output <br /> This is not, has never been, and will never be a PHP bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-21 17:33:42] ht_regz@shaw.ca ok I apologize for that... the internet connection here at work has been intermittant and I wanted to get it up as fast as possible... the <? echo "Line 1"; echo "Line 2"; ?> should of shown <? echo "Line 1\n"; echo "Line 2\n"; ?> and it still prints Line 1Line 2 as for mfisher@php.net I don't see how this is a support question.. it's a bug somewhere between php & apache for win, because the same page of code works fine when ran on php & apache in Mandrake. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-21 17:07:41] rodif_bl@php.net This functionality work fine.. your example echo "Line 1"; echo "Line 2"; should print Line 1Line 2 if you want to do something like this echo "Line 1\nLine 2\n"; or echo "Line 1 Line2 "; - Brad ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
