I have a site that I am transferring here and the code works perfectly on the other host, but when I transfer the code here, it does not recognize \n, \r, or \r\n in the PHP code to make the HTML code look nice.

I know the code is not wrong because its working perfectly on the other host.

I set up a test page to see if I was crazy, but it looks like I'm not: http://raineym.net63.net/test.php

Any help would be appreciated.

Try to use nl2br()

<?php
echo nl2br("hello\n world");
?>

It will output a <br /> tag.

I know the nl2br() PHP function. I have been programming in PHP for almost 7 years now.

Perhaps I need to explain it this way. What I'm trying to do is make where my HTML, when outputted by the PHP script, looks like this when you view the source:

<blockquote>
     <p>Hello, World!</p>
</blockquote>

Instead of like this when you view the source:

<blockquote><p>Hello, World!</p></blockquote>

Every time I put in \n, \r, or any combination of the two it just outputs the \n and/or \r as text to the browser.

The PHP script on test.php has the following line of code:

echo '<blockquote>\n     <p>One</p>\n     </blockquote>\n';

When you view the source of the page in the browser, it looks like this:

<blockquote>\n<p>One</p>\n</blockquote>\n

In addition, PHP functions like explode() and str_replace() don't even see the \n or \r in the strings passed to them and implode() just places the strings together with the \n and/or \r outputted to the browser as text.

I found what the problem was you just need to replace the ' to "

ex:

PHP Code:

<?php
echo("<blockquote>\n <p>One</p>\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n <p>Two</p>\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n <p>Three</p>\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n <p>Four</p>\r</blockquote>\r");
?>

That did it. Now I have to go through thousands on lines of code and fix all of that. Find >> Replace, here I come.

This is the first web host I've seen where the ' and " were not interchangable in PHP code.
