Re: [PHP] \n \t don't work!!!

If you want it to work with \n, then you will need to use the <pre></pre> tags. Otherwise you need to translate the \n's into <br> tags. \n is NOT an html tag so when you print them to the browser, it adds lines to the source, but as you might already know, a new line in the source of an html page does NOT give a new line in the output unless you use an html tag that would give the new line.

The page source shows:

I do want to just make a html page.

The following is my source code, and what I expect is to see the new lines
when the \n appears, ok?

*****************************************
<body>
<?php
 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.";

?>
</body>
</html>
******************************************

So, what's the problem here?
