Alright cool. Thanks man!

[When to use \n vs <br/> ?]

Hi Guys,

 

I'm new here and just started learning PHP a couple of days ago. I have to say it's not nearly as intense as I thought it would be (coming from the simple html/css world) 

 

Anyways, I'm at the point where i'm learning about the /n line break. I was testing it in dreamweaver and saw that none of the browsers (Firefox, Safari, Chrome, etc.) recognize it, which makes perfect sense since browsers don't understand the PHP language. So I was wondering, when and where is the \n line break useful? I know you can spot the break if you check the source code from the browser, but other than that, there is no change on the front-end.

 

Thanks guys!
