Hello All, Happy pre independence for my American PHPers. And good health to all others. Have a quick question.. I have this code I use for the end of line characters used in my mailers. [Code] // Is the OS Windows or Mac or Linux if (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS,0,5)=='WIN')) { $eol="\r\n"; } else if (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS,0,5)=='MAC')) { $eol="\r"; } else { $eol="\n"; } [End Code] Does this suffice or should I be using the php supplied end of line? $eol=PHP_EOL; Or do these do the same thing? What advantages over the code I use does the PHP_EOL have? Or does it not matter with these and either are good to go? It seems to me that they do the same thing.. am I on the right track or missing something? Is there any other OS's that are not WIN or MAC and use the "\r" or "\r\n" ? If their are, then I can see an advantage of using the PHP_EOL. Like I said, just a quick question. ;) Karl DeSaulniers Design Drumm http://designdrumm.com
