thank you

can you or anyone kindly post to us Reference , i mean where to know all about that line feeds. or only it is \n and \r

[JonnoTheDev]

\n is a newline

\r is a carraige return

\t is a tab

 

Thats it really. They are just for text documents. For instance take a look at:

<?php 
print "<h1>Hello</h1>";
print "<p>This is some text</p>";
?>

Run this code and take a look at 'view source' in your browser. See how the text document displays the HTML.

Now run this code and do the same.

<?php 
print "<h1>Hello</h1>\n";
print "<p>This is some text</p>\n";
?>
