Jeff,
Is there something about the evaluation of \n in different types of
strings, eg single quotes/double quotes? (I don't know the answer)...
FWIW I don't like (perhaps, I don't trust) the \r\n type of short-cuts.
Herewith some sample code:
...
$LinkText = "Requested data can be found at: $source" . CRLF .
CRLF .
"Run date: $DocDate" . CRLF;
...
The constants are defined in an Include/Require file:
...
define( 'LF', chr( 10 ) );
define( 'CR', chr( 13 ) );
define( 'CRLF', CR.LF );
...
It works for me!
Regards,
