I follow this video by adding this code
echo "<pre>;
$email_body =" ";
$email_body .= "Name " . $name ;
$email_body .= "Email " . $email ;
$email_body .= "Details " . $details";
echo $email_body;
echo "</pre>";
but the result does not have a line break as the tag <pre> should do. Why is that?

In this example I have noticed she is using "\n", which gives you a line break.
<?php
echo "<pre>";
$email_body ="";
$email_body .= "Name " . $name . "\n";
$email_body .= "Email " . $email . "\n";
$email_body .= "Details " . $details . "\n";
echo $email_body;
echo "</pre>";
?>

Courses Plus Student 3,418 PointsI recommend using the "<br />\n", on this topic though does it create a vulnerability not catching the tabs and sending a blind map of entry and exits in the source? I might be crazy enough if I had a malicious bone in my body, try to work out whats going on at these non-indented spaces. So do I use tabs or spaces? lol
