A bug in the PHP interpreter

The special character "\n" does not work!!! Check: <?php for($x=0;$x<=10;$x++){ echo "$x\n"; } ?>

@Suleyman says: "In browser to see line break you must use <br> tag" Or encapsulate your output in a <pre></pre> tag ( PREformatted text ), which keep the lines breaking with \n: <?php echo "<pre>"; for($x=0;$x<=10;$x++){ echo "$x\n"; } echo "</pre>"; ?> @Suleyman solution is shorter: <?php for($x=0;$x<=10;$x++){ echo "$x<br>"; } ?> ... but <pre> is usefull when having already a text output without the html line-break tag ( ie: like the "to string' output if an array ) ^^ Any html tag can be css styling to reproduce ( or cancel ) the behaviour of the pre tag, with the white-space property ( possibles values: normal, nowrap, pre, pre-wrap, pre-line... -- see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/white-space for more informations ;)
