php and newlines: what I need to know?
cross-browser, cross-platform, mysql, newline, php
Solution
- newlines are browser dependent?
- No. Use `<br>` to get a newline in a browser
- newlines are system dependent? (where php runs)
- yes : `\n` on OSX, `\n` on Unix/Linux, `\r\n` on Windows
- will php apply some implicit conversion?
- no
- will mysql apply some implicit conversion?
- no
Problem
I have some questions about `\r\n`: - newlines are browser dependent? (not how they are displayed in a browser, but how `<textarea>` sends them to php via http request) - newlines are system dependent? (where php runs) - will php apply some implicit conversion? - will mysql apply some implicit conversion? Thanks in advance!
