\n doesn't work

I am writing a program, and I am using \n in double-quoted print statements,
which should give me a line break. It doesn't work. I'm running Apache 2.0
and PHP 5, with Mozilla Firefox as a browser. What is wrong?

Very true. I was making an assumption based on the same experience
other people have had when posting here about this problem. Plus it
seems very unlikely that print "\n" does not output a newline break ;)


It DOES output a newline break. Do a View->Source to prove it.

The issue is that newlines in HTML are just plain old white space, and
are removed when the page is rendered.

To get a line break rendered, you need to output a <br> tag.


I know that, and that's exactly what I posted in my reply to the OP ;)

Depends :-D. In a <pre> it *does* count, and there are some other places
where it counts (sometimes in old browsers at unexpected places).

My JavaScript Form Validation doesn't work at all in Netscape, but it works fine in IE. I made some of the suggested changes which enabled it to work in IE. I couldn't make all the changes because then it didn't work in IE. How can I enable this javascipt form validation to work in Netscape? When I use netscape, none of the alert boxes appear. It submits the form without validating anything.

It doesn't seem possible. But would the following also seem a violation of the general notions behind css? You have a DIV, say asociated with class, 'topdiv'. Inside of that you have an anchor (and whatever it contains), associated with class, 'a'. Somewhere else in, 'topdiv', there is a span or element (containing whatever), associated with class, 'b'.

I want to know if readOnly attribute doesn't work for drop down list? If I try disabled attribute, it works fine for drop down list.

Hello, In an ASPX page I have a "Quit" button which make a simple redirect in code-behind. This button doesn't work no more since (I think) I moved from the framework 1.0 to 1.1 and it doesn't work only on IE! My ASPX page works in FireFox. If the button doesn't work it's because of validators (and it worked with the same code in v1.0).

Hi All, Ok, here's my problem. I want to open a file and process its contents. However, because it is possible that the file may not exist, I also want to check whether the file() function is successful before attempting to process any returned data from the file() function. The php file() manual page suggests that it returns FALSE if it is unsuccessful, however this simply doesn't happen on my system. My code looks like the following: ...
