Here's my code:
<html>
<Head>
<?php
$name = "Sergio";
?>
</Head>
<body>
<h1>It works!</h1>
<?php
echo "So someone tells me your name is " . $name . ".";
echo "Welcome to the site, " . $name . "\n";
echo "THEN WHO WAS NEW LINE?";
?>
</body>
</html>
Everything outputs to a single line with no newline. Any help?
Use <br /> because you are outputing on the browser which needs html tags.
echo "So someone tells me your name is " . $name . "<br />";
echo "Welcome to the site, " . $name . "<br />";
echo "THEN WHO WAS NEW LINE?" . "<br />";
HTML ignores all newlines, so you'll have to use <br /> to insert a line break.
<html>
<Head>
<?php
$name = "Sergio";
?>
</Head>
<body>
<h1>It works!</h1>
<?php
echo "So someone tells me your name is " . $name . ". ";
echo "Welcome to the site, " . $name . "<br/>";
echo "THEN WHO WAS NEW LINE?";
?>
</body>
I would put a breakline instead will do what you are looking for
HTML isn't plain text. When you want a line break, you have to insert it with markup, such as <br>... though probably separate paragraphs would be more appropriate.
Also since HTML isn't plain text, you need to HTML-escape it when you output it. It doesn't matter for “Sergio”, but it would matter if someone's name was “Brian <i> Smith”, the guy with the unusual middle name who would turn your whole page italic if you didn't escape it properly.
<body>
<h1>It works!</h1>
<p>
So someone tells me your name is <?php echo htmlspecialchars($name); ?>.
</p>
<p>
Welcome to the site, <?php echo htmlspecialchars($name); ?>.
</p>
</body>
