html output lines

[julian_m]

given that php
echo '<div>';
echo 'whatever';
echo '</div>';
echo '<div>';
echo 'whatever';
echo '</div>';
echo '<div>';
echo 'whatever';
echo '</div>';
echo '<div>';
echo 'whatever';
echo '</div>';


the output html is

<div>whatever </div><div>whatev er</div><div>whatev er</div><div>whatev er</div>

whereas I would like to have as output the following (It's better in
order to read and understand the html code)

<div>
whatever
</div>
<div>
whatever
</div>
<div>
whatever
</div>
<div>
whatever
</div>

How should I do ?

It actually prints \n in the browser, which is what I don't want. I
just need to add carriage retruns in the html source, not the rendered
page

erm, shouldn't that be:
echo "<div>\n";
(note: double quotes not single)

Re: html output lines

My bad. Double quotes are necessary to that php actually interprets the
contents of the quotes instead of just echoing it as is.

or you could define the end of line string in a constant for easier
modification down the road...

<?php
define('CRLF'," \r\n");

echo '<div>',CRLF;
....
?>

Re: html output lines

true, but you have to type 4 characters every line instead of 2 that way ;-)

Good idea I reckon...
[color=blue]
> define('CRLF'," \r\n");[/color]

That's circular. Since '\r\n' in double quotes means a CRLF pair,
define()-ing 'CRLF' as such doesn't better position you. What's worse,
if the value was to change to one or the other (i.e., to either CR or
LF, or indeed to something else) then the label 'CRLF' becomes a
misnomer.

What is useful to define(), I think, and I believe this was your
point, is not a label representing a particular 'end of line string'
but rather the end-of-line itself. (There is a predefined constant,
namely 'PHP_EOL', that would seem to stand for end-of-line, but I can't
find any documentation.)

That's what I did already, thinking in the same scenario, using a var
though:
$L_end = "\n";

It is possible to join two strings with ',' or it was just a typo ???

That's not joining strings but passing multiple strings to echo, which is
actually a language construct (and not a function), and as such can handle
such strangeness.
