Begginer's Questions...

I gather there is an archive for this listServ. How do I get to it? I will explore on my own. The question I joined this listServ to ask is below. Please let me know if it should be posted in a different list: I have installed PHP and Apache to run locally on my Windows XP machine. It works! However, when I view a .php web page (i.e. mixing PHP and HTML) the book I have says that "\n" used inside double quotes in a print or echo command should cause a line feed. It does not do so for me. If I use <br /> I get a line feed, but not with \n. See example below. <?php print "I'm just ducky.\n\nhow are you?"; ?> This does NOT put in the line feeds I expect from \n. Why is that? Can I fix it? Is that a browser setting, or maybe a PHP setting? I noticed that the \t and \r also seem to do nothing. However \$, \\ and \" seem to work as desired. Oddly I found that \$ and $ both put a $ in the web page, both \ and \\ put a single slash in the web page. Help ! Harry
