826 PointsProblem rendering in code challenge?
I can't get past a particular code challenge in PHP basics, but I think something is rendering incorrectly. When I paste the exact same code into my workspace, I get a new line at the end. However, in the code challenge it creates a space, not a line. Code below. Am I missing something obvious or is it ignoring the new line?
echo "$fullname was the original creator of PHP\n";
Even adding a "test" string at the end gets different results.
echo "$fullname was the original creator of PHP" . "\n test \n";
yields the following in workspace: Rasmus Lerdorf was the original creator of PHP
test
yet yields the following in code challenge: Rasmus Lerdorf was the original creator of PHP test

Treehouse TeacherIf you are running the code in the workspace console, it is plain text, so the \n translates as a new line break. The preview on the code challenge is html so \n doesn't show as a line break unless you were to look at the source. However, your code should work for the code challenge.
