Jessica Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 You need to use HTML. A new line in html is[code]<br />[/code] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickybomb Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 no i know the whole /n new line code, sorry if I was unclear I was wondering if there was another way of doing the same sort of thing. the /n does not always work in every situation, and i tend to be very neat and picky when it comes to my code so I am looking for the most control over how it outputs it.

trq Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 The \n not /n does work when within double quotes. I'm a little lost as to what your question really is. Are you asking how to make newlines in html source or in html output? A new line in html is <br /> as jesirose pointed out. Otherwise, you'll need to explain your question better.

.josh Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I think what he means is when you are looking at the webpage through the browser, and you right-click > view source, the html source code is all tidy and indented, etc.. instead of all just one line or something. As in, when you dynamically create html with php, how to include the "tidiness." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braclayrab Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 <?php?><html> <head> <title>foo</title> <head> <body> <p>this is a paragraph</p> </body></html> ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
