I got a mystery when I tried to test a heredoc construct in PHP. I can not figure out what is a problem with this code:
<?php
$author = "Scott Adams";
$out = <<<_END
Normal people believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough
features yet.
- $author.
_END;
echo $out;
?>
According to my book here is not necessary to use the to put a linefeed, just type an enter button. But it does not take linefeed just print the text and that is it. Do I have problem with my apache server or May it be misconfigured? I am using it with the default settings.
Thanks for the help.
In the browsers all white-space (tabs, new-lines, multiple spaces) is collapsed.
If you want to show new-lines in the browser, you need to add html line-breaks:
echo nl2br($out);
