Question

I have a php CLI script and cannot get the output to break on new lines. I do

echo 'this is my text\r\n';
echo 'next line';

This gives

this is my text\r\nnext line

Any ideas about how to get the output on different lines?

Answer 1

Use double quotes ".

echo "next line\n";

Additional you can use the system-dependent constant PHP_EOL

echo "this is my text" . PHP_EOL;
