Guys, These codes are copied from the manual: ***************************************************** echo ("this is the simplest, an SGML processing instruction\n"); echo "This spans

         multiple lines. The newlines will be
         output as well";

echo "This spans\nmultiple lines. The newlines will be\noutput as well."; ****************************************************** None of them works. They do work but you will not see that in the rendered html page (in a browser). Have a look at the source of the produced page and you will see the linebreaks.

I suppose your manual was not intending on making html pages, or it was a very lousy one. I would recommend reading the first chapters of the manual on www.php.net to get a general idea of PHP. Then read some tutorials on for instance phpfreaks.com.

I mean there're not any new lines generated in my browser and I have to use the echo"<br>" to print a new line. But why doesn't the \n work? BTW, the \t doesn't work either.
