Guys,

These codes are copied from the manual:

*****************************************************
 echo ("this is the simplest, an SGML processing instruction\n");
 echo "This spans
         multiple lines. The newlines will be
         output as well";
 echo "This spans\nmultiple lines. The newlines will be\noutput as well.";
******************************************************
None of them works.
They do work but you will not see that in the rendered html page (in a 
browser). Have a look at the source of the produced page and you will see 
the linebreaks.
I suppose your manual was not intending on making html pages, or it was a 
very lousy one. I would recommend reading the first chapters of the manual 
on www.php.net to get a general idea of PHP. Then read some tutorials on 
for instance phpfreaks.com.


 I mean there're not any new lines generated in my
browser and I have to use the echo"<br>" to print a new line. But why
doesn't the \n work? BTW, the \t doesn't work either.
(WindowsXP Pro + PHP Version 4.1.1)

Please advise.

cheers,

feng
