newline in error_log in php

Question

How to insert a newline while using error_log() in php

I tried to use <br> and \n but those didn't work.

Answer 1

Use double quotes when putting the error message:

error_log("This is a two lined message. \nThis is line two.");

should work.

error_log('This is a one lined message. \nThis is the same line still.');

will not work: notice the single quotes.

Answer 2

If any, check you header parameter passed to the function.
