Question

I dont know how to echo a new line in PHP. I have tried echo "\n" but it does not work.

I want to echo new lines in the following code.

Code:

if (file_exists($fName)) {
   echo "CreationTime: ".$CreationTime.
        "CurrentTime: ".$CurrentTime.
        "after ".($fLifeTime)." Days from Creation: ".$fAge;
   }

Answer 1

IF you are looking this output from a browser, you must use <br /> tag or, put <pre> before your echo.

For new line
example.

if (file_exists($fName)) {
   echo "CreationTime: ".$CreationTime. "<br />".
        "CurrentTime: ".$CurrentTime. "<br />" .
        "after ".($fLifeTime)." Days from Creation: ".$fAge;
   }

pre example

 if (file_exists($fName)) {
      echo "<pre>";
       echo "CreationTime: ".$CreationTime. PHP_EOL .
            "CurrentTime: ".$CurrentTime. PHP_EOL .
            "after ".($fLifeTime)." Days from Creation: ".$fAge;
       }
