[PHP-DB] putting strings together with a linefeed

2004-04-16 Thread Hull, Douglas D
For example, say I have a variable $mytext = 'what up doc'.  Now I want to add the 
text 'not much' to the end of this variable.  But I want to place a return or linefeed 
after the original text so when I echo $mytext it looks like:

what up doc
not much

I tried:
$mytext = 'what up doc';
$mytext .= chr(10) . 'not much';I also tried chr(13)

10 is linefeed and 13 is carriage return.

Thanks for your previous help as well.

\r\n should give a carriage return.

i.e:

$mytext = 'what up doc';
$mytext .= '\r\n not much';

What is missing is the markup interpreted by the browser.  (Check the source
after the script is processed).  Something like this perhaps?

?
$mytext = p style='margin:0'what up doc/p;
$mytext .= chr(10) . p style='margin:0'not much/p;
?
p?=$mytext;?/p

The source of the document received from the server as text/html reads

p style='margin:0'what up doc/p
p style='margin:0'not much/p

and this is interpreted and displayed by the browser as

what up doc

not much
