Re: Character newline (\n), How to

A couple possible reasons : 1. Mixing \n and <br> \n won't create a newline within your browser but rather it will within your html source code. Meaning, look at your html source and notice the newlines. 2. Using single quotes echo '\n'; will literally print '\n', in otherwords, it won't be evaluated. Odds are this is not your problem but oh well. "\n" will expand into a newline. Perhaps this faq will help too : http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/901 Also, have a look at the nl2br() function. Regarding the above faq, if anyone can make it more "understandable" feel free.
