Print Newline in PHP in Single Quotes

Print newline in PHP in single quotes

No, because single-quotes even inhibit hex code replacement.

echo 'Hello, world!' . "\xA";

PHP - how to create a newline character?

Only double quoted strings interpret the escape sequences \r and \n as '0x0D' and '0x0A' respectively, so you want:

"\r\n"

Single quoted strings, on the other hand, only know the escape sequences \\ and \'.

So unless you concatenate the single quoted string with a line break generated elsewhere (e. g., using double quoted string "\r\n" or using chr function chr(0x0D).chr(0x0A)), the only other way to have a line break within a single quoted string is to literally type it with your editor:

$s = 'some text before the line break
some text after';

Make sure to check your editor for its line break settings if you require some specific character sequence (\r\n for example).

Making a new line with single quotes?

You have to use double quotes. Otherwise, PHP will literally output \n.

PHP - how to print newline?

Here:

        $xml = $xml.'</product>';
        PHP_EOL;

You have to concatenate that PHP_EOL, like this:

        $xml = $xml . '</product>' . PHP_EOL;

But, if you want to show the new line on the screen, then use <br>:

$xml = $xml . '</product>' . '<br>';

Php echo not printing newline even within double quotes or using PHP_EOL

if you want to use HTML tag inside php, try this:

echo "dkljaks aalksja klajklsa<br/>";

echo "abc jjka kajkajs<br/>";

and see here for br tag and if you don't want to use HTML tag. try this: nl2br() php function for line break.

\n or \n in php echo not print

PHP only interprets escaped characters (with the exception of the escaped backslash \\ and the escaped single quote \') when in double quotes (")

This works (results in a newline):

"\n"

This does not result in a newline:

'\n'

How to add a line break within echo in PHP?

\n is a line break. /n is not.

use of \n with

1. echo directly to page

Now if you are trying to echo string to the page:

echo  "kings \n garden";

output will be:

kings garden

you won't get garden in new line because PHP is a server-side language, and you are sending output as HTML, you need to create line breaks in HTML. HTML doesn't understand \n. You need to use the nl2br() function for that.

What it does is:

Returns string with <br /> or <br> inserted before all newlines (\r\n, \n\r, \n and \r).

echo  nl2br ("kings \n garden");

Output

kings
garden

Note Make sure you're echoing/printing \n in double quotes, else it will be rendered literally as \n. because php interpreter parse string in single quote with concept of as is

so "\n" not '\n'

2. write to text file

Now if you echo to text file you can use just \n and it will echo to a new line, like:

$myfile = fopen("test.txt", "w+")  ;

$txt = "kings \n garden";
fwrite($myfile, $txt);
fclose($myfile);
 

output will be:

kings
 garden
