As Hampton shows in this video that "\n" makes a new line in php but it is not working on my PC.As far i understand \n creates a newline in the source code.So what is the best way to make a new line in php?

24,762 PointsI had the same problem and learned to use PHP's newline to break function.
Example:
echo nl2br("foo isn't\n bar");
See the site http://php.net/manual/en/function.nl2br.php
Also, the \n will work correctly within the confines of the HTML "pre" tags.
