I feel stupid.
In many examples I have seen similar to:
echo '<p>Whatever.</p>\n';
echo '<p>An other whatever.</p>\n';
But my PHP outputs the \n instead of a new line in the source.
I am stupid?
No, just naive. :-)
Quotes (") and Apostrophes (') are not QUITE the same in PHP.
To some degree, they are VERY different.
' has only two (2) special characters: ' and \
" has a lot of special characters, and interpolates variables and
one-dimension arrays.
just to add: you can interpolate any dimension of arrays (and objects for that matter)
as long as you bother to escape the variables with braces inside the string
e.g.
$str = "my {$array['one']['two']['three']} string {$object->prop} interpolation";
\n only works in " not in '
