Question

I’m working on a PHP script that compiles a JavaScript framework. Right now I’m using the following code to create line breaks in JavaScript files, but I’m guessing there is a better way to do this?

// Line break, can this be written better?
$line_break = '

';

// Get JavaScript files
$js_file_core = file_get_contents('js/core.js', true);
$js_file_timers = file_get_contents('js/timers.js', true);

// Add a line break between files and combine them
$compiled_js = $js_file_core . $line_break . $js_file_timers;

Answer 1

People above told you about using “\n” already. I will point out the quotes. Many people may try this with single quotes (‘). If you try this with single quotes like ‘\n’ you will just print out \n. Use double quotes instead: “\n”

Makes difference.
