In a terminal, yes it will. It will also break it if you view the source code on a web page. However, it's meaningless rendered. <br /> will break it Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/164482-basic-php-trouble/#findComment-867649 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks anyways! html doesn't understand a linebreak. Thats what <br> is for. Assuming you've been asked to do this without using <br> in your code you could use.... <?php $email = 'name@myemail.com' ; $name = 'First Last' ; echo nl2br("My email address is $email \n My name is $name"); ?> nl2br simply add <br> tags where linebreaks are.
