[SOLVED] echo and newline

[jacobmott]

So, yeah ummmm.... why is

for ($i = 0;$i < 10; $i++){

echo "$i\n";

}

 

not printing

0

1

2

3

4

5

6

7

8

9

to the screen but printing 0123456789 instead?

\n will put a new line in the code, not in the actual output. You'll have to use something like <br /> to do that.

[jacobmott]

Thanks for the response.

ok

for ($i = 0;$i < 10; $i++){

echo $i; <br />

}

For some reason the parser is interpreting <br /> literally into Break the page. lol

Because when I use this syntax my page will not display.

echo $i."<br />";

Yeah you're putting the br outside of your ;

You would either have to close your php tags ?> <br /> <?php which I don't think is that practical, personally.

Or something like neil suggested:

 

for ($i = 0;$i < 10; $i++){
    echo $i <br />;
    }

 

Really just need to move your ; to the end of the line.

Awesome. Thank you much. Works like a charm.
