You are probably expecting the wrong thing. The "newlines" only appear
in the source of the page. I imagine you are expecting to see a new line
when viewing the page through the browser. In this case you must use a
<br> tag.

Here are two examples:

1. This will only show a new line when you view the source.

<?php

	echo "Hello\nWorld";

?>

2. This will only show a new line when viewed through the browser.

<?php

	echo "Hello<br>World";

?>

3. This will show both.

<?php

	echo "Hello<br>\nWorld";

?>


hth,
