I sometimes see this in code samples of PHP. Does this handle DOS/Mac/Unix endline issues?

Yes,
PHP_EOLis ostensibly used to find the newline character in a cross-platform-compatible way, so it handles DOS/Unix issues.Note that PHP_EOL represents the endline character for the current system. For instance, it will not find a Windows endline when executed on a unix-like system.
