New line in php?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 12.2008

hi,

Can anyone please tell me how to make a new line in php:

[code=php]
echo “<tr>”;
echo “<td><input type=’checkbox’ name=’d$n’ value='”. $row->news_id.”‘></td>”;
echo “<td>$row->formatted_date</td>”;
echo “<td>”. stripslashes($row->headline) .”</td>”;
echo “<td>”. stripslashes($row->season) .”</td>”;
[/code]

I know it’s adding /n to each line, but that’s returning pesky errors?

Thanks

@skywalker2208Jul 12.2008 — [code=php]
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td><input type='checkbox' name='d$n' value='". $row->news_id."'></td>";
echo "<td>$row->formatted_date</td>";
echo "<td>". stripslashes($row->headline) ."</td>";
echo "<td>". stripslashes($row->season) ."</td>";
[/code]

It is a back slash not a forward slash and it needs to be in double quotes.

Like this
[code=php]echo "Add a new line n";[/code]

Not like this
[code=php]
echo "This doesn't not work /n";
[/code]

@chrisbauthorJul 12.2008 — Thanks,

But say I was echoing a variable?

[code=php]
echo "$pagelinks";
[/code]

echo "$pagelinksn";
//...or...
echo $pagelinks . "n";
[/code]
Note that the "n" must be in double quotes, as it does not have this special meaning within single quotes.

@PreamJul 13.2008 — what works for me also is a return character (r) with a newline character(n)

so it would be: rn

and dont forget that escape characters must be within quotes

@IslamLoverAug 11.2013 — try this:
[code=php]echo "<br>";[/code]
this provides an HTML new line

If you have a document that you want displayed in a web browser page (but not in a text area) then use nl2br() function to convert all newlines in to <br /> tags.

@rootAug 12.2013 — I think that the OP is looking for this type of thing...

[code=php]echo "<tr>" . PHP_EOL;
echo "<td><input type='checkbox' name='d$n' value='". $row->news_id."'></td>". PHP_EOL;
echo "<td>$row->formatted_date</td>". PHP_EOL;
echo "<td>". stripslashes($row->headline) ."</td>". PHP_EOL;
echo "<td>". stripslashes($row->season) ."</td>". PHP_EOL; [/code]

an alternative is to


[code=php]$out = array("<tr>",
"<td><input type='checkbox' name='d$n' value='". $row->news_id."'></td>",
"<td>$row->formatted_date</td>",
"<td>". stripslashes($row->headline) ."</td>",
"<td>". stripslashes($row->season) ."</td>");
echo implode(PHP_EOL,$out) [/code]

or use the HEREDOC method

I have tried all the suggestions here and in my Wordpress php, non have worked.

This, however did:

<?php echo "n32"; ?>
