I'm currently starting to learn php off of Laracasts, and I have a very basic issue. My code is the following:
<?php
echo 'Hello World';
In the video, this exact code outputs "Hello World", and then starts the terminal prompt on a new line.
He doesn't use /n or any other new line code
I wrote this same code on Sublime Text. When I run this in terminal, the echo'd "Hello World" displays, but it is on the same line as the next terminal prompt.
However, if I run the exact same code in a different text editor(I tried Visual Studio Code next) the "Hello World" displays, but the terminal prompt starts on a new line.
Wondering why this is happening in Sublime Text.
You want to specify a new line character/carriage return.
In PHP you need to use double quotes like this: echo "Hello World ";
more info on carriage returns here: , and what is the difference between them?
Windows and Linux both have their own interpretations, more information can be found in this informative post.
