Is there much difference in implementing < br> and \n at the end of an indicate statement.
The simplest way to explain it truly is to test the item out.
Run this test… telephone this " experiment. php"…
< php
echo "< div id='test'> this is a test< /div> \n";
echo "< div id='test'> this is a test< /div> \n";
echo "< div id='test'> this is a test< /div> \n";
echo
"< div id='test'> this is a test< /div> < br> ";
echo "< div id='test'> this is a test< /div> < br> ";
echo "< div id='test'> this is a test< /div> < br> ";
>
Now view this HTML source (on your browser) in the resulting script:
< div id=’test’> that is the test< /div>
< div id=’test’> that is the test< /div>
< div id=’test’> that is the test< /div>
< div id=’test’> that is the test< /div> < br> < div id=’test’> that is the test< /div> < br> < div id=’test’> that is the test< /div> < br>
The \n is often a " literal" linefeed for any actual HTML, also it reflects that inside the output.
That < br> outputs the linefeed to the browser, but there is no " literal" linefeed within HTML.
In addition to likewise, this…
echo " < div id=’test’> that is the test< /div> \n";
echo " < div id=’test’> that is the test< /div> \n";
echo " < div id=’test’> that is the test< /div> \n";
Can do the same point as this…
echo "
< div id=’test’> that is the test< /div>
< div id=’test’> that is the test< /div>
< div id=’test’> that is the test< /div>
";
Seems a little useless to me. The \n which is.
Glenn,
You should have to remember that though, because you will note it used whenever sending
data into a functions, not much with " echo".
Example
To send headers having PHP mail(), you’ll need to use it:
From: joeaol. com\r\n Reply-To: jimcomcast. net\r\n
\r = return
\n= up coming line (new line)
return How much does that do
Most are carry-overs from the actual olden-days…

I just use them any time I’m told in order to… not knowing why, other than, " you might have to".
makes a line separate in outputted text.
makes as text.
Line breaks are useful in order to echo more than one distinct text in any div, say you’re outputting a comment such as the one below:
