PHP_EOL is the best fit. you do not have to write multiple lines of
code to do the same thing.

Hello All,
Happy pre independence for my American PHPers. And good health to all
others.
Have a quick question..

I have this code I use for the end of line characters used in my mailers.

[Code]
// Is the OS Windows or Mac or Linux
if (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS,0,5)=='WIN')) {
       $eol="\r\n";
} else if (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS,0,5)=='MAC')) {
       $eol="\r";
} else {
       $eol="\n";
}
[End Code]

Does this suffice or should I be using the php supplied end of line?

$eol=PHP_EOL;

Or do these do the same thing?
What advantages over the code I use does the PHP_EOL have?
Or does it not matter with these and either are good to go?

It seems to me that they do the same thing.. am I on the right track or
missing something?
Is there any other OS's that are not WIN or MAC and use the "\r" or "\r\n" ?
If their are, then I can see an advantage of using the PHP_EOL.

Like I said, just a quick question. ;)

Oops sory for the cross post. Didn't realize that's what that was.
I have seen others do it in the past.
I am a bit of a list novice.
Wont happen again.
Thanks for your reply.
