Breaks not taking with my code - seems to identical

here is my code:

<?php

$name = $_POST["name"]; $email = $_POST["email"]; $message = $_POST["message"]; echo "Name: " . $name . "\n"; echo "Email: " . $email . "\n"; echo "Message: " . $message;

?>

I think what you want here might be the br tag for line breaks. try replacing the "\n" with "<br>"

Hi Jerett,

I agree with Erik. I've always had a problem with "\n".

<?php
echo "<br>";
?>

Is a better way to go, in my opinion. Also, while I have your attention:

If you look to the bottom right of the text box you will see something that says Markdown Cheetsheet. Also, there is a post here titled: Posting Code to the Forum by Dave McFarland. If you don't understand that maybe this will make sense: How to display code at Treehouse.
