I gather there is an archive for this listServ. How do I get to it? I
will explore on my own.
The question I joined this listServ to ask is below. Please let me know
if it should be posted in a different list:
I have installed PHP and Apache to run locally on my Windows XP machine.
It works! However, when I view a .php web page (i.e. mixing PHP and
HTML) the book I have says that "\n" used inside double quotes in a
print or echo command should cause a line feed.
It does not do so for me. If I use <br /> I get a line feed, but not
with \n. See example below.
<?php
print "I'm just ducky.\n\nhow are you?";
?>
This does NOT put in the line feeds I expect from \n. Why is that?
Can I fix it? Is that a browser setting, or maybe a PHP setting?
I noticed that the \t and \r also seem to do nothing. However \$, \\
and \" seem to work as desired. Oddly I found that \$ and $ both put a
$ in the web page, both \ and \\ put a single slash in the web page.
Help !
Harry
