Newlines in HTML are expressed through  lt br gt   not through  n   Using  n in PHP creates a newline in the source code  and HTML source code layout is unconnected to HTML screen layout

Since it wasn t mentioned  you can also use the CSS white-space property  body      white-space pre-wrap      Which tells the browser to preserve whitespace so that   lt body gt       lt  php         echo  hello nthere         gt   lt  body gt    Would display  hello there

If you want to write plain text  you must ensure the content type is set to Content-Type  text plain  Example   header  Content-Type  text plain      If you are dealing with HTML  you have two options  One is to inset a new line using  lt br gt   Or  lt br   gt  for XHTML   The other is to put the plain text in a  lt pre gt  element  In this case  pre  stands for preformatted

If you want a new line character to be inserted into a plain text stream then you could use the OS independent global PHP EOL  echo  foo   echo PHP EOL   echo  bar     In HTML terms you would see a newline between foo and bar if you looked at the source code of the page   ergo  it is useful if you are outputting say  a loop of values for a select box and you value having html source code which is  prettier  or easier to read for yourself later  e g   foreach   dogs as  dog   echo   lt option gt  dog lt  option gt     PHP EOL

This answer was so obvious and it took me forever to figure out   echo  foo bar     I know that looks like it s wrapping  It s not  What I did is I literally hit return halfway through the string  between foo and bar  It creates a new line in the HTML source and makes your PHP look horrible  This was in Linux Apache

the html element break line depend of it s white-space style property  in the most of the elements the default white-space is auto  which mean break line when the text come to the width of the element  if you want the text break by  n you have to give to the parent element the style  white space  pre-line  which will read the  n and break the line  or white-space  pre which will also read  t etc  note  to write  n as break-line and not as a string   you have to use a double quoted string    n   if you not wanna use a white space  you always welcome to use the HTML Element for break line  which is  lt br  gt
