ID: 2194 Comment by: lmohr at eatoncounty dot org Reported By: jkjome at creativeis dot com Status: Closed Bug Type: Other Operating System: NT4 PHP Version: 4.0 Beta 2 New Comment: test new line Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [1999-08-30 15:07:14] eschmid at cvs dot php dot net You are outputting HTML. new lines are eaten up in HTML. the proper HTML tag to make a newline is <br>. Mark Bug closed by -Egon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [1999-08-30 13:10:10] jkjome at creativeis dot com Here is an example: <?php for ($i = 4; $i < 8; $i++) { print "I have eaten $i bagels today.\n";} ?> Even with the newline character there, no new line is generated in the output. As you can see, this happens with print, but it also happens with printf and echo. The only thing it does is add a single space where it should have been a new-line. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=2194&edit=1
