PHP - how to create a newline character

Question

In PHP I am trying to create a newline character   echo  clientid  echo      echo  lastname  echo      echo   r n     Afterwards I open the created file in Notepad and it writes the newline literally      1 John Doe r n 1 John Doe r n 1 John Doe r n   I have tried many variations of the  r n  but none work   Why isn t the newline turning into a newline

The  echo  command in PHP sends the output to the browser as raw html so even if in double quotes the browser will not parse it into two lines because a newline character in HTML means nothing   That s why you need to either use   echo  output text    lt br gt      when using  echo   or instead use fwrite     fwrite  output text    n      This will output HTML newline in place of   n

I have also tried this combination within both the single quotes and double quotes  But none has worked  Instead of using  n better use  lt br  gt  in the double quotes  Like this     variable    and   echo  part 1  variable part 2 lt br  gt    echo  part 1    variable   part 2

Strings between double quotes    interpolate  meaning they convert escaped characters to printable characters   Strings between single quotes    are literal  meaning they are treated exactly as the characters are typed in    You can have both on the same line   echo   clientid  lastname       r n   echo   clientid  lastname  r n     outputs    clientid  lastname 1 John Doe

For some reason  every single post asking about newline escapes in PHP fails to mention the case that simply inserting a newline into single-quoted strings will do exactly what you think   ex 1    echo  foo nbar     Example 1 clearly does not print the desired result  however  while it is true you cannot escape a newline in single-quotes  you can have one   ex 2    echo  foo  bar     Example 2 has exactly the desired behavior  Unfortunately the newline that is inserted is operating system dependent  This usually isn t a problem  as web browsers servers will correctly interpret the newline whether it is  r   r n  or  n   Obviously this solution is not ideal if you plan to distribute the file through other means then a web browser and to multiple operating systems  In that case you should see one of the other answers   note  using a feature rich text editor you should be able to insert a newline as a binary character s  that represents a newline on a different operating system than the one editing the file  If all else fails  simply using a hex editor to insert the binary ascii character would do

Actually  r n is for the html side of the output  With those chars you can just create a newline in the html code to make it more readable   echo   lt html gt First line  r n Second line lt  html gt      will output    lt html gt First line Second line lt  html gt    that viewing the page will be   First line Second line   If you really meant this you have just to fix the single quote with the    quote   echo   r n     Otherwise if you mean to split the text  in our sample  First line  and  Second line  you have to use the html code   lt br   gt    First line lt br   gt Second line   that will output   First line Second line   Also it would be more readable if you replace the entire script with   echo   clientid  lastname  r n

Use the predefined PHP EOL constant   echo  clientid        lastname  PHP EOL    The constant value will be set according to the line endings of the operating system where PHP is executing  On Linux  it will be   n   on Windows  it will be   r n

Only double quoted strings interpret the escape sequences  r and  n as  0x0D  and  0x0A  respectively  so you want     r n    Single quoted strings  on the other hand  only know the escape sequences    and      So unless you concatenate the single quoted string with a line break generated elsewhere  e  g   using double quoted string   r n  or using chr function chr 0x0D  chr 0x0A    the only other way to have a line break within a single quoted string is to literally type it with your editor    s    some text before the line break some text after     Make sure to check your editor for its line break settings if you require some specific character sequence   r n for example
