redundant line breaks....

Since we are coding the "pingpong.php" for html, isn't it redundant to type both <br /> and \n in the echo command?

Hi Chris,

The \n is for creating line breaks in the html source that's sent to the browser.

The <br> is for creating line breaks in the html rendered by the browser.
