Re: Begginer's Questions...

P.S. Begginer is spelt correctly as: Beginner Its quite simple, use the same technique I use on my 5 year old son. Spell it as it sounds: Be-gin-ner Three syllables, Three easy sounds, and its spelt correctly!! Instead of your retarded, uneducated, likely American [oops, did I go over the line there with my severe hatred of the USA? Sorry about that] spelling of Begginer tata! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harry Baya" <harry@baya.net> To: <php-install@lists.php.net> Sent: Sunday, February 05, 2006 8:09 AM Subject: [PHP-INSTALL] 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 -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
