Hello everyone I'm new into php and currently im taking PHP Basics course Well i encountered problem I dont know how to incorporate new line into for example my echos, i know that it was mentioned somewhere in course, but cant fin it. My basic code looks like
<html> <body> <?php $array_eyes = array( 'blue' , 'brown' , 'red'); print_r($array_eyes); //====Here i would like to have new line==== echo "Trying php with no success"; ?> </body> </html>
i tried to add <br> and \n like: print_r($array_eyes) "\n"; print_r($array_eyes) <br>;
but i always get error message. Any toughts please?

You've got the escape sequence right.
<?php
$array_eyes = array( 'blue' , 'brown' , 'red');
print_r($array_eyes) . echo "\n";
//====Here i would like to have new line====
echo "Trying php with no success";
?>
What you want to do is concatenate your string that contains the escape character. So the next thing you echo to the screen will appear on a new line. :-).
