bRaKinG MADE: No line break "\n" :-(

Why does'nt the Preview of the workspace show line breaks?

<?php $name = $_POST["name"]; $email = $_POST["email"]; $details = $_POST["details"];

echo "Name " . $name . "\n"; echo "E-Mail " . $email . "\n"; echo "Details " . $details . "\n"; ?>

Hey Marco I believe you forgot to echo the <pre> tag before and </pre> closing tag after you echo your variables. Good luck!

Sorry, I typed that wrong, you're supposed to echo an html tag called pre before and after you echo your variables

Hi Kane,

ok thanks! Did not know that \n only works within the HTML-tag pre like this:

<?php
$one = "1";
$two = "2";

echo "<pre>";
echo "foo:" .$one. "\n";
echo "boo:" .$two. "\n";
echo "</pre>";
?>

If I dont wanna use the tag: <pre> I use </br> instead:

<?php
$one = "1";
$two = "2";

echo "foo:" .$one. "</br>";
echo "boo:" .$two. "</br>";
?>

Now I got it! :-)
