Newline "\n" does not work...

[Gregory]

I am working through the exercises in the book "Learning PHP 5". I am
using OS 10.3.7, with Apache, Safari and IE. When I execute the
following code, the newline "\n" does not work. The ouput is all on
one line in both browsers. I read through the PHP website to no avail.
What is wrong?

From example 2-17: Operating on Variables

<?php
$price = 23.95;
$tax_rate = 0.08;
$tax_amount = $price * $tax_rate;
$total_cost = $price + $tax_amount;
$username = 'james';
$domain = '@example.com';
$email_address = $username . $domain;

print 'The tax is ' .$tax_amount;
print "\n";
print 'The total cost is ' .$total_cost;
print "\n";
print $email_address;
?>

Remember browsers expect HTML. HYML interprets newline as white space. To
get a newline in HTML use

print "<br>";

And you seldom will be. Google a bit before asking. (And no, I'm not
being rude, mean, or an asshole by saying this, or in this tone).
