Is there anyway to make new lines in single quotes?

Thanks,

there is.';

No, not that I'm aware of :)

you can try:

<?php
define('LF', "\n"); // or 'NL' or 'NewLine' or 'LineFeed' or ...

echo 'first line', LF, 'second line';
// avoids (lol)
// echo "first line\nsecond line";
// or
// echo 'first line', "\n", 'second line';
?>

Ah! I felt like I was missing something :-)

You can break single-quoted strings (and double-quoted, for that
matter) over multiple lines.

Ex:

<?php

$string =
'This is
a string
with newlines!';

?>

But if you mean using the literal character(s) \n, then you'd have to
do it like:

<?php

$string = 'This is' . "\n" . 'a string' . "\n" . 'with newlines!';

?>

Which one is easier to read for you? ;)

Thanks for the help, I thought that was the only way...
