Newline character problem...

I'm new to PHP but not programming in general. I have used C++ for a while and I'm familiar with the newline character as it's basically the same in PHP. Whenever I print something with a newline character in it all it produces is a space between whatever two things I'm printing. I'm running php 5.1.1 running on FreeBSD 6 with apache 2.2.0. All the latest versions installed today. This is the most basic of examples: print 'one' ; print "\n" ; print 'two' ; The output of this when accessed on my server is: one two It should be: one two I've tried using printf as well but to no avail. It just adds a space between the outputs. I've also tried using different browsers but still get the same result. What am I doing wrong? Could this a php configuration issue? Apache maybe? Thanks, Rob
